Rape suspect given 7 days to produce ID
A RAPE suspect fighting extradition to the US has been given seven days to lodge documents proving his claimed identity is real.
Nicholas Rossi, who fled to Scotland from America to escape a series of alleged offences, says he is actually a man called Arthur Knight.
Rossi, 34, failed to appear at his extradition hearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court yesterday, with his wife claiming he has Covid.
An ambulance took Rossi away from his Glasgow address in the hours before the case called.
It emerged at the hearing Rossi has refused to provide DNA samples and fingerprints to the Crown.
In his absence, Rossi was ordered to bring a passport, birth certificate or other documents to the next hearing in a week’s time.
