Alleged Mossad spy appears before Polish court
WARSAW, Poland — An Israeli citizen and alleged Mossad agent has appeared at a Polish court that will decide whether to extradite him to Germany.
The detained man, Uri Brodsky, entered Warsaw’s district court Monday wearing a dark blue rain jacket with a hood pulled over his head. Escorted by anti-terror officers, Brodsky covered his face with his hands.
Court spokesman Wojciech Malek said it wasn’t clear if the court would rule on his possible extradition Monday or at a later date.
Brodsky is suspected of helping forge a German passport used by one member of an Israeli Mossad spy agency hit squad allegedly behind the January killing of a Hamas leader, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, in Dubai.
The Israeli was detained in Poland in June on an arrest warrant issued by Germany.
