A 56-year-old Maltese man resident in the UK has been extradited from London to face drug trafficking charges.
The man was flown to Malta this afternoon under police escort.
He is expected to be arraigned in connection with the discovery of 9,600 ecstasy pills on September 6, 2006. Another two persons have already been arraigned in connection with the case.
The man was extradited after having been arrested on the strength of a European Arrest Warrant. He has been resident in the UK for several years.
