Fugitive Nicholas Rossi who faked own death to avoid rape charges FINALLY extradited to US as he’s flown out of Scotland
FUGITIVE beast Nicholas Rossi has finally been booted out of Scotland, we can reveal.
The 36-year-old was extradited today from Scotland to the USA over rape allegations in Utah.
The bombshell news brings to an end a two-year saga after the fantasist pretended to be an Irish orphan called Arthur Knight.
Rossi faked his own death and fled the US in 2017 before being caught on a covid ward in a Glasgow hospital in 2021 after an international manhunt.
The Scottish Sun’s exclusives on Rossi have fascinated the world since he was caught in Scotland.
Last month, Rossi lost a final bid to dodge being booted out of the UK at the Court of Appeal in Edinburgh where he made outlandish claims and argued his legal teams misrepresented him.
He’s now being returned to his native Utah to face rape and sexual assault charges.
We told how Rossi, who also used other aliases, was first arrested in 2021 at a Glasgow hospital.
It followed an international manhunt after a court ruled he faked his own death and fled.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We assisted partner agencies with the extradition of a 36-year-old man.”
