PHILIPSBURG:---The Court of Appeal decided ON Tuesday afternoon that the extradition of Francesco Corallo (1960) is permissible.
The decision was taken after a request by Italy on January 12th. 2017 for his extradition.
Corallo has been locked up in a police cell since December 2016. While the Italian Government requested the extradition of Corallo, there is a civil case pending in St. Maarten between Corallo and his father.
Besides that just recently the lawyers representing Corallo file a case with the United Nations regarding his detention in a police holding cell for almost seven months.
Even though the Court of Appeals handed down a verdict on Tuesday, the process for the extradition is still not over since Corallo could still file an appeal with the Supreme Court in the Netherlands.
Court of Appeal rules in favor of Italy with the extradition of Francesco Corallo.
