Extradited : the European Arrest Warrant and my fight for justice from a Greek prison cell
Symeou, Andrew2015
Books
In 2007, he and his friends went on holiday to Zante. When Andrew returned to London, Greek police requested his extradition on a charge of murder. While Andrew was in Zante, another young holiday maker died in a nightclub accident. Greek police quickly fabricated a case against Andrew, accusing him of striking the victim, whereas in fact he had neither met him nor been in the nightclub at the time of the alleged incident. A year later, Symeou was arrested by British police with an European Arrest Warrant. A British court was unable to prevent Andrew's extradition and he was dragged away from friends, family and girlfriend. Having never been questioned by police, Andrew was thrown into a Greek prison where he spent almost a year pre-trial in truly horrific conditions. In 2011 he was acquitted as the Greek police's case unravelled.
