The High Court has sought further information from Greek authorities before deciding whether Jeremiah O’Brien should be extradited on a human trafficking charge. The case was adjourned until 8 July, and O’Brien was remanded on bail.

The court heard concerns about overcrowding and violence in Greek prisons, including evidence that overcrowding in one prison had reached 164%. The State said Greece needed to address concerns about the conditions O’Brien might face if surrendered. The allegations against him remain allegations; the court has not yet ruled on extradition.
