The Appellant was until her dismissal for misconduct in July 2005 a Judge of the First Instance Court in Athens. A few days before her dismissal she came to this country and settled under a false identity. She was arrested at her home in Sussex on 15 May 2011. The extradition proceedings at first instance were protracted, partly though not only because the Appellant initially lied about her identity, a circumstance which led to her being denied bail until 6 December 2012, meaning that she was held on remand for no less than nineteen months.
