German national to be extradited for making indecent photos of child
Summary
A High Court judge ruled that Olaf Raetzel, a 51‑year‑old German national living in Ireland, may be surrendered to the UK to face three charges of making indecent photographs of a child. Raetzel had objected to his surrender, arguing that the UK's exit from the EU could affect his fundamental rights. The judge rejected this objection, finding no evidence that the UK's withdrawal would deprive him of those rights. Under Section 16 of the European Arrest Warrant Act 2003, Raetzel can be surrendered, and he may file a constitutional complaint before surrender.
