"A notorious French Holocaust denier who was arrested in a Scottish village after being on the run for two years will not be extradited to France, a Scottish criminal lawyer has said.
Vincent Reynouard fled France after his conviction under anti-Nazi laws in 2020. He was arrested this week under the post-Brexit Trade and Co-operation Agreement in Anstruther, Fife.
Paul Dunne, an Edinburgh-based criminal defence lawyer, told Good Morning Scotland on BBC Radio Scotland that the extradition bid was almost certain to fail because a Scottish court cannot deal with something it does not recognise as criminal behaviour."
