Tyrolean Court Rejects Extradition of Two Suspects in Waste Mafia Case
A judge in Innsbruck has rejected the execution of a European arrest warrant against two persons from the federal state of Tyrol. Italian justice has suspected the two of being involved in the trade of illegally disposed waste.
The decision of the Austrian court means that the men will not be extradited to the Trento public prosecutor's office. The prosecution authority in northern Italy has investigated the suspects for suspected criminal activities in the field of waste management.
The two Tyroleans remain barred from Italy. They are not permitted to enter the territory south of the border as they have been refused entry.
The reasons for the rejection of extradition by the Innsbruck tribunal were not made public. It is unclear whether the Italian side will lodge an appeal against this ruling.
