Fugitive solicitor Michael Lynn should be back in Ireland imminently after Brazil’s supreme court finally cleared the way for his extradition last night.
Brazil finally set to extradite Lynn back to Ireland

The court first ruled that Lynn, aged 47, should be extradited in December 2014. A series of delaying tactics by Lynn’s lawyers drew out the legal process, even as their client remained in a dirty and overcrowded jail that he said was making him ill.

The decision comes more than eight years after he fled from justice and almost 30 months since he was arrested in his beach hideout near the city of Recife.
