(NL Times) The 56-year-old Rotterdammer Nazih R., who is a suspect in a Danish and German terror investigation, is denying the accusation he is a member of Hamas. His lawyer said this on Tuesday during a hearing at the International Legal Assistance Chamber in the court in Amsterdam. The court will decide about his extradition to Germany. R. is fighting against the extradition.
R. was arrested on Thursday, the 14th of December, in Rotterdam-Zuid at Germany’s request. There is a joint investigation into R. in Germany and Denmark. A German prosecutor claims the man has been a member of Hamas for years.
Three other men were arrested by the police in Berlin, who were also judged to have close connections with the military branch of Hamas. The Danish police also detained people suspected of making terror plans.
