The Police Service of Northern Ireland worked alongside Romanian and French authorities in order to bring the man before the courts.

A Romanian man has been extradited from France to Northern Ireland to stand trial for a rape in Northern Ireland.

French authorities executed a European arrest warrant in Lyon, in a joint operation with Romanian officials and Northern Ireland police.

The man is sought for trial in Northern Ireland following a rape in the Portadown area in 2014, police said.

The 26-year-old is to appear in Belfast Magistrates' Court on Friday.
