Tamim murder suspects unlikely to be extradited
Thursday, Sep 04, 2008
Cairo: Egypt is unlikely to extradite the suspects in the murder of Lebanese singer Suzan Tamim to the UAE, an Egyptian legal official said on Wednesday.
"The arrest and investigations were conducted in Egypt," said the official, who spoke to Gulf News on condition of anonymity.
Egypt's Prosecutor General Tuesday charged business tycoon Hesham Tala'at Mustafa with involvement in the slaying of Tamim in Dubai on July 28.
"The crime committed abroad (in Dubai) is punishable under the Egyptian Penal Code. Accordingly, they will not be tried outside Egypt," said the official. He would not say if the UAE had made an extradition request to Cairo. '
Hesham had "allegedly paid Al Sukkary $2 million to track down Tamim in London and then in Dubai," according to Egyptian prosecutors.
"Work in the group is going on as normal according to relevant rules without any change," Tareq Tala'at Mustafa told an Egyptian magazine in remarks published on Wednesday.
