US authorities claim Nicholas Rossi is a fugitive who went on the run to evade serious sex charges. The 36-year-old claims he is an Irish orphan named Arthur Knight.
A rape suspect who allegedly faked his own death and fled from the US is to appeal against his extradition from Scotland. A court in Edinburgh recently ruled Nicholas Rossi, 36, should be sent to America to face serious sex charges. Rossi, who claims he is an Irish orphan named Arthur Knight, has been at the centre of a long-running extradition battle. American law enforcement officials say he is a fugitive who fled to the UK to evade justice.
On Monday, the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service confirmed Rossi has lodged an appeal against the extradition order with the High Court. The SCTS said a report has been requested and is expected within four weeks. An international game of hide and seek ended when Rossi was tracked down via an Interpol red notice while unconscious in a COVID hospital ward in Glasgow in 2021. He was arrested after his tattoos and fingerprints were matched to documents held by the National Crime Agency.
