(ITV) An east London man — who is suspected of involvement in the kidnap of a British journalist in Syria — has been transferred to Iraq by American forces where he could face trial and the death penalty.
Nero Saraiva, a Portuguese citizen who became a permanent resident of the UK, is believed by officials to be one of “the most high value suspected ISIS detainees” anywhere in the world.
Saraiva was held by Kurdish forces in Syria following his arrest last year during the battle for Baghouz. But during the past few weeks he was secretly brought across the border to Iraq.
He could face trial there, or be extradited to Portugal.
