Equatorial Guinea and South Africa are discussing the possibility of extraditing Mark Thatcher, son of the former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, accused of bankrolling a coup plot in Malabo, an official said on Friday.
”Equatorial Guinea and South Africa are currently in very close contact with a view to allowing the Malabo government to lodge a demand for the extradition of Mark Thatcher as quickly as possible,” lawyer Lucie Bourthoumieux, legal counsel to the
government of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema, said.
”A formal extradition request has not yet been lodged by the Equato-Guinean authorities,” she said. – Sapa-AFP
