Suspect extradited from Singapore in theft case
A 55-year-old man wanted for theft committed nine years ago was extradited from Singapore yesterday.
He is due to appear in Eastern Court today.
He is wanted in connection with a case in which US$852,200 from his client's bank account was transferred to his account in 1992 and 1996.
The man had acted as an agent in buying sewing machines and had the authority to withdraw and transfer funds from the victim's account.
A formal request was made to extradite the fugitive, alleged to have been travelling in and out of Singapore using different passports, in January. Singapore police arrested the man on January 27.
