Steven Lyons, described by UK outlets as the head of the Lyons Crime Family, appears in an Amsterdam court where judges rule he can be extradited to Spain. BBC News reports that Lyons loses a bid to block the process, with the court deciding he must face charges in Spain. The allegations include drug trafficking, money laundering and violent crime, according to the BBC. Sky News similarly says the Dutch court allows extradition to Spain. The Mirror adds that the court hearing results in Lyons being sent “imminently” to Spain and frames it as part of a wider extradition process, including the possibility of transfer to a second country. Daily Record reports that Lyons is extradited from the Netherlands to Spain after his capture and deportation from Bali earlier this year. Taken together, the reports indicate that Lyons is currently held in the Netherlands following his arrest-related deportation from Bali, and the Amsterdam court’s decision clears the way for his transfer to face Spanish charges.
