Portadown: 38 Yr Old Extradited to Germany for a Number of Child Sexual Assault Offences

A 38 year old man, Wednesday 15th October, extradited from Northern Ireland to Germany.  He is sought to stand trial in Germany for a number of offences of rape and sexual assault committed against a child.  The offences occurred in the Berlin area of Germany between September 2020 and December 2021.

The male was arrested in Portadown on 13th January 2025.  He has been held in prison since his arrest and today has completed the extradition process with his successful extradition to Germany.

Sergeant Davey from PSNI’s International Policing Unit said, “We continue to work closely with the National Crime Agency and our European partners to locate, arrest and extradite those wanted in other countries. We are committed to tackling violence against women and girls and today’s extradition confirms our dedication to the relentless pursuit of perpetrators and of our support for victims.   

“Our message is clear – Northern Ireland is not a safe haven for anyone trying to avoid arrest or the consequences of their actions.”
