Monzer al-Kassar "Prince of Marbella"

Al-Kassar, dubbed the "Prince of Marbella" because of his opulent lifestyle, faces life imprisonment if convicted


Monzer al-Kassar, alleged Syrian arms dealer and co-conspirator with the recently-extradited pair of Luis Felipe Moreno Godoy and Tareq Mousa al Ghazi, is one step closer to being extradited from Spain. Today, a Spanish court authorized al-Kassar’s extradition to the United States to face terror related charges.
As we reported a week ago, Godoy and al Ghazi were extradited from Romania to face charges of supplying missiles, automatic weapons and ammunition to the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Columbia, or FARC, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization. Al-Kassar, who allegedly utilized a criminal arms network he supposedly masterminded in the transaction, faces similar charges.
The decision of by the National Audience, which has jurisdiction over international crimes, is subject to appeal. If confirmed a final decision will fall on the Spanish government. .
