Crime boss Steven Lyons to challenge Spain extradition bid
- Lyons will oppose the extradition from the Netherlands to Spain, with a hearing set in Amsterdam District Court.
- Spanish authorities say the Lyons network operated across Europe, the Middle East and Asia with a large money laundering operation.
- The operation involved 18 raids and several arrests as part of Operation Armorum, with assets frozen and investigations continuing.
- Lyons was stopped by immigration officials in Bali and later deported after arriving on a flight from Singapore.
- The court decision on extradition is due to be published on 18 June after the Amsterdam hearing.
- Spanish police linked Lyons to a feud with the Daniel gang and to murders in Spain and Scotland.
- Authorities describe Lyons as a key figure with ties to the Kinahan crime group based in Dubai.
- A three-year international probe, conducted with Police Scotland, supported the extradition case.
- The Civil Guard stated the Lyons operation involved raids mainly on Costa Del Sol and Barcelona.
- Lyons' extradition could see him face prosecution in Spain for drug trafficking and related crimes.
