EIGHT people were extradited this morning to Poland after being handed over by gardai to Polish police at Baldonnel Aerodrome.
Gardai attached to the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation surrendered eight persons to the Polish Policja at Baldonnel Aerodrome on foot of European Arrest Warrants.
The extraditions were sought by Polish police in respect of a number of offences including armed robbery, false imprisonment, burglary and offences in relation to organised crime.
Detective Superintendent Michael J Mullen of the Garda Extradition Unit said: "This successful operation highlights strong international cooperation enjoyed by the Garda Extradition Unit.
“This operation also highlights the continued commitment of domestic stakeholders including the Department of Justice, The Defence Forces and the Irish Prison Service all of whom work in tandem to ensure wanted fugitives are brought to justice.”
