Poland hands over Mossad agent involved in Mabhouh assassination

A Polish court decided on Wednesday to hand over a suspected German Mossad agent who was arrested in Warsaw at the request of the German federal prosecutor for involvement in the assassination of Hamas commander, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, in Dubai about seven months ago.

WARSAW, --“The court decided to transfer the suspect to Germany to follow up on punitive action,” said Judge Thomas Talkevich, explaining that the Court “will not decide on the offense of Ori Brodsky. It will only verify if the request for extradition is appropriate in terms of form, and that the suspect is actually the concerned person.”

The Mossad agent was taken to the regional court in Warsaw, guarded by seven masked and armed special unit members of the Polish police.

The suspect, who was arrested on the Fourth of June at the Warsaw airport under a European arrest warrant issued by Germany, has seven days to appeal.

The Mossad agent is suspected of involvement in illegally obtaining a German passport used in the assassination of Mabhouh, and of espionage, according to the Polish Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper.
