Vincent Reynouard was arrested in Fife in November 2022.
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”. He ruled that the alleged offences constitute an offence under Scots law as they would amount to a breach of the Communications Act, and that there was therefore no bar to extradition.
Sheriff Dickson said that Reynouard was arrested in November 2022 on a conviction warrant concerning a 12-month jail sentence which was upheld in the Court of Appeal in Caen, Normandy, on June 17 2015.
