Garland extradition hearing adjourned

The extradition hearing of former Worker’s Party president Sean Garland, who is wanted in the United States for his alleged involvement in a sophisticated counterfeiting operation, has been further adjourned until early next year.

Authorities in America are seeking the extradition of Mr Garland (aged 76), of Beldonstown, Brownstown, Navan, Co. Meath, to face charges relating to the production of high-quality counterfeit US dollars, an operation allegedly carried out with the collusion of the government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea - North Korea.
