Three men from Norfolk are facing extradition hearings over warrants issued by Romanian and Lithuanian authorities. Kestitis Matukaitis, 62, of Knowland Grove in Norwich, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 12 October following a warrant from Lithuanian police over allegations of assaults. Sorin Grosu, 32, of Alma Road in Lowestoft, will also appear on 12 October to face a hearing over a Romanian warrant issued for alleged serious driving offences.

At these hearings, a judge will determine whether each man is the person being sought, whether the warrant has been issued legally, and whether the extradition can proceed. Both men will have the right to appeal against removal from the country.

In a separate case, Rica Stanescu, 46, of Nelson Road Central in Great Yarmouth, faces extradition on a warrant issued by Romanian police over threats. His case has been adjourned until 27 January.
