The extradition hearing of a convicted Italian mafia boss arrested in Britain last year will take place on Monday after being adjourned last month due to his ill health.
Domenico Rancadore, 64, is fighting deportation to Italy, where the authorities want him to serve a seven-year jail term imposed in his absence in 1999 for being part of the Sicilian mafia.
Italian police also claim he was involved in crimes including extortion, racketeering and drug trafficking.
Judge Howard Riddle told Westminster Magistrates' Court in London at a hearing last month that Rancadore was "not in good health", and adjourned the case until Monday.
Known in the mafia as "The Professor", Rancadore had been on Rome's list of most dangerous criminals. He had been living in a modest suburban house in west London under the name of Marc Skinner, with his English wife and two children, when he was arrested on August 7 last year under a European arrest warrant.
