A HOLOCAUST denier arrested in Scotland can be extradited to France where he is wanted by authorities, a court has ruled.The alleged offences include “public trivialisation of a war crime” and “public challenge to the existence of crimes against humanity committed during the Second World War”.and was remanded in custody after crossing the Channel to evade French authorities who had been pursuing him for two years.
In a written ruling he said: “I have found that the conduct set out in the accusation warrant constitutes an extradition offence; there are no bars to extradition; the respondent’s extradition would be compatible with the convention rights within the meaning of the Human Rights Act 1998; and the respondent’s extradition would not be disproportionate.
This left the domestic warrant which was issued by French authorities in November 2022, in relation to which Reynouard now faces extradition.
