Liam Campbell was approved for extradition on international weapons trafficking charges by the High Court in a judgment on 26 June 2020.

The warrant alleges he helped organise weapons and explosives smuggling from Lithuania into Ireland for the Real IRA. A formal surrender order was due when Campbell next appeared before the High Court on 13 July, after the judge rejected objections about delay and prison conditions.
