A businessman wanted by Myanmar for hiring an international lobbyist rejects his extradition: “It’s revenge”
The National Court has ordered the imprisonment for fraud of Munimul Islam, CEO of a technology company, pending a decision on his extradition.
Munimul Islam and his wife, Rebecca Connor, arrived at El Prat airport in Barcelona on September 29 on a Ryanair flight from London. They had planned a two-night trip to celebrate their wedding anniversary, but Islam was detained at the passport control by the National Police after Interpol issued a red notice against him at the request of the authorities in Myanmar.
Islam, a 40-year-old businessman from Bangladesh, is being held in provisional prison pending extradition proceedings, which he opposes, citing concerns for his safety.
