On June 18 last year, British officials learned that prosecutors in New York were seeking to extradite Davis to the US.
Priti Patel allegedly ‘begged’ the US to take on the case of British Jihadi Aine Davis, it can now be reported.
Defence barrister Mark Summers KC had claimed British authorities “connived” in the deportation of Londoner Davis from Turkey with a view to him being extradited onwards to America and face fresh charges there. Davis had been suspected since 2014 of involvement and in 2019 British MI5 officers visited him in a Turkish prison to ask him about it, the court was told.
On June 18 last year, British officials learned that prosecutors in New York were seeking to extradite Davis to the US and charge him with providing “material support” to IS. “The proper route would have been extradition from Turkey to America. That was assessed to be unrealistic – they’ve fallen out at an international level.
Mr Summers said: “The evidence we submit is overwhelming – the Government knew full well what the Turkish deportation decision was going to be before the result, that can only be because they were involved in the decision making-process.”It was claimed he was told by the official that on arrival in Britain he would be questioned by the police and then he could “get on with his life”.
Mr Summers claimed: “The UK had connived in procuring the deportation order from Turkey with subjective ulterior motives.” In response, a consular official initiated steps for an emergency passport to be issued which did not require his consent.
