General
Jan G. from Overasselt Approved for Extradition to Face Charges in Netherlands
A German court has approved the extradition of Jan G., a 28-year-old man from Overasselt, to the Netherlands where he will serve a prison sentence. G. was arrested in Germany after escaping a deadly drug-related shootout in September that killed his security guard and injured two officers. Dutch police have deployed 150 agents to investigate the attack, which involved threats against G.'s family regarding missing cocaine. G. had previously been convicted for directing a drug lab in Angeren but remained free while appealing. He denies involvement in drug crime. The Public Prosecution Service is preparing to confirm the transfer, which will see him incarcerated in the Netherlands.
