Liam Campbell extradition case adjourned over issue with prosecutor's independence
Summary
The High Court adjourned a hearing on the proposed extradition of Liam Campbell, a 54‑year‑old Irishman wanted in Lithuania for alleged terrorism offences and weapons trafficking. Campbell was arrested in Dundalk on a European Arrest Warrant issued by Lithuanian authorities. The warrant alleges he organised the preparation for smuggling weapons to support the Real IRA between late 2006 and early 2007, arranging illegal possession of firearms, ammunition, explosives and substances. The court paused the case because a Lithuanian prosecutor's independence issue has arisen, and the matter will resume on 23 May.
