An armoured prison van was bought to move the 49-year-old to court in Dublin following his handover from the United Arab Emirates.

Dublin — The Irish Prison Service bought a bulletproof and bombproof van to transport the 49-year-old to court after his extradition from Dubai.

Background

The Irish Prison Service is the agency that runs Ireland’s prisons and is responsible for moving prisoners between custody and the courts. High-risk transfers are handled by its dedicated escort corps.

Extradition is the formal process by which one state hands a wanted person to another to face charges or serve a sentence. It is governed by treaty or by domestic law, and normally requires a court in the sending country to approve the transfer.

Serious organised crime cases in Ireland are usually tried at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin, which sits with three judges and no jury. No charge has been proved, and every accused person is presumed innocent until a court decides otherwise.
