Swedish authorities to extradite men arrested at Waterford Airport

Swedish authorities are looking to extradite three men, arrested in Ireland last week, after cocaine worth €3.5 million was recovered at an airfield in England.

A private plane was seized by Gardaí, along with mobile phones and €9,000 in cash, during an operation at Waterford Airport on February 23rd.

The aircraft had arrived from Belgium via the UK.

Two Swedish nationals and a Lithuanian were arrested, while another man has been charged in the UK in connection with the seizure of fifty kilogrammes of cocaine.
