A SOUTH African businessman who fled to Australia four years ago to evade being tried for fraud, may soon be extradited after a Federal Court rejected arguments that a new extradition hearing should be denied. Edward Dutton, who is accused of fraud involving $37,2-million, was arrested in Australia in 1995, but escaped extradition because of a technicality in Australia’s Evidence Act. The regulations have now been amended, a second request for extradition was sent by South Africa and Dutton was rearrested.
