MADRID (Reuters) - A German prisoner in Madrid and his
girlfriend glued their hands together during a jail
visit in an attempt to fight the man's possible
extradition to Germany, judicial sources said on
Thursday.
The pair were taken to hospital, where doctors were
considering whether to operate or use a powerful
solvent to separate the man's left hand from the
woman's right.
The glue is a type normally used in car repairs.
Spanish police arrested the 39-year-old man in the
southern city of Cadiz in April on request from
Germany, where he faces accusations of smuggling women
from Eastern Europe to force them into prostitution,
the judicial sources said.
The Madrid court studying the extradition request will
not make a decision for several months, they added.
The man has a separate judicial case pending in Spain
and authorities want it resolved before any handover
to Germany
