Former U.S. Marine Faces Extradition to Spain for Raiding North Korean Embassy to Help Diplomat Defect

Otto Warmbier’s mother pleads with the judge to stop the Biden-approved extradition.

A former U.S. Marine faces extradition to Spain for breaking into the North Korean embassy in Madrid to help a diplomat defect. It appears Biden’s administration is aiding in this process, despite concerns that North Korea plans retribution for this move.

Christopher Ahn, 40, faces his final extradition hearing in federal court in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Two years ago, he was freed on $1.3million bail but was forced to serve home confinement ahead of his possible extradition to Spain.

The US government is working to extradite Ahn to Spain even though the FBI has reportedly told him that North Korea wants to assassinate him.

Ahn’s attorney says that extradition puts his client’s life in jeopardy since the North has been known to send hit squads to target enemies of the state – even if they are on foreign soil.

Ahn was arrested in LA by US Marshals in 2019 – weeks after he and a group of anti-Kim activists devoted to helping North Koreans flee the authoritarian country broke into the embassy in Madrid in an attempt to help a top diplomat defect.

Ahn defends his actions.

Crazy? No. Criminal? Absolutely!

It is what old commie crony capitalism XiJinBiden does, what politicians who are ‘owned’ by the CCP do.

One of the comments is perfect. If this happened in the NK Embassy it happened on NK soil. It is not the business of Spain. Let Kim Jon Un try and extradite him, tell Spain to suck on broken glass.

Democrats: we want open borders... except when someone wants to escape a totalitarian regime. Then, let’s build the wall... to keep them in.

Crazy and disgusting… Spain at the moment is to the left of Mao, but then again, so is Biden.

To Democrats, the US military, and her veterans, are nothing but fire plugs and latrine buckets.

Spain used to be one of my favorite European countries to visit, but their craven behavior in the terrorist attacks in their subway back in 2004 (their reaction to it) soured me on them.

Not true. The host government is responsible for external security and they have jurisdiction.

Yes, I was an embassy guard.

Mine too. I still go there a lot (or I used to) but they’re nuts. My Spanish friends there are very conservative, and they’re under attack… just as we are here.

Sigh. The ascendancy of Leftist Lunacy around the world makes me very worried.

This was a successful black-op raid that obtained very valuable information and high level communist DPRK Intel including their encryption communication codes.
How do we repay the freedom fighters? By appeasing the Euro fascist and DPRK Communist by extradite them back to Europe.
Disgusting as all get out

I did a little digging. Apparently this Revolutionary group made a deal with the FBI in exchange for the documents they got from the Madrid Embassy. Sad to say, but not surprising, the FBI broke their end of the bargain.

If he broke into a North Korean embassy, that’s sovereign land. What Spanish law did he brake?
