Gary Davis was ordered for extradition by the High Court over alleged narcotics distribution, computer-hacking and money-laundering conspiracies in a judgment delivered on 12 August 2016. The charges arose from an alleged role as an administrator of the Silk Road website, according to the judgment.

Mr Justice McDermott rejected objections concerning corresponding offences, duplicity and Mr Davis’s medical condition. The court found that safeguards and prison measures in the requesting state addressed the issues raised, and held that the three conspiracy charges were covered by Irish law.
