Irish man to be extradited to Denmark on charge of rape

Summary

The High Court ordered the extradition of a 38‑year‑old Irish man to Denmark on a rape charge. The offence was alleged to have occurred in Odense on 17 October 2022. A European arrest warrant was issued by a deputy judge at the Odense court on the same day, and the man was arrested by Gardaí at Dublin Airport after being identified on the Schengen Information System. Mr John Ferry BL, representing the Minister for Justice, confirmed that the Danish prosecution warrant was valid and that there was no issue with identity or certification. Judge Kerida Naidoo was satisfied that the minimum gravity of the charge was met and that the warrant was correct. He ordered the surrender of the respondent to Denmark, allowing him to remain on bail for up to 15 days with a €15,000 surety, and required him to surrender to Gardaí within 48 hours of the surrender date.
