George Louca, the man wanted in South Africa for murdering stripclub owner Lolly Jackson, will know if he is to be extradited from Cyprus within a week, it was reported on Saturday.<\/p>\n
According to the Saturday Star judge Elena Ephraim said at Louca’s hearing in Cyprus on Friday that he would stay in custody until then.<\/p>\n
Louca is wanted in South Africa on four charges, including murder and corruption.<\/p>\n
Louca’s lawyer, Sofronis Sofroniou has contested South Africa’s right to extradite his client. A 1979s Cypriot law that said no citizen could be extradited had not been repealed, he told the court.<\/p>\n
Prosecutor Olga Sophocleous said Cyprus and South Africa were both signatories to a European treaty on extradition and the 1970s law was no longer valid after an amendment to the country’s constitution.<\/p>\n
South African police claim Louca confessed to Jackson’s murder in a telephone conversation with a policeman.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere is the recording of this telephone call,\u201d Sofroniou asked.<\/p>\n
The lawyer also questioned why South Africa had taken so long to ask for an Interpol arrest warrant.<\/p>\n
Corruption charges brought against Louca, which include buying cars and giving one to the wife of a policeman, were \u201cunsubstantiated,\u201d Sofroniou said. – Sapa<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
