A European Arrest Warrant has been used to extradite a Sussex man from Malta.

Following a multi-agency operation 77 year-old Roderick MacDonald was handed over by Maltese authorities to Sussex officers in Malta before being flown back into Gatwick Airport.

MacDonald, who also goes by the name Robinson, pleaded guilty to failing to notify foreign travel before leaving the UK; failing to notify change of name, and failing to notify change of address.  It follows his conviction back in 2012 for crimes which required his life-long registration as a sex offender.
