Gardaí are aware of shamed swimming coach George Gibney’s location in the US and are confident they will secure an extradition order if the Director of Public Prosecutions agrees to bring new changes against him, the Irish Examiner has learned.

On Wednesday, it emerged that investigating officers sent a new file to the DPP, seeking to bring more than 50 new charges against him in relation to historical sex abuse claims.
