WARSAW, Poland, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- The United States is seeking additional evidence before it will extradite a Polish man sought in the killing of a Warsaw police chief in 1998, officials said.
Polish Justice Minister Andrzej Czuma in Warsaw said police have new evidence that will be dispatched to the U.S. attorney general's office to see if it is sufficient to open a new extradition motion against businessman Edward Mazur, who lives in Chicago and holds both Polish and U.S. citizenships, Polish Radio said Thursday.
Mazur, 62, is suspected of ordering the killing of Gen. Marek Papala, the Polish national police chief, outside his Warsaw apartment in June 1998. Polish authorities want to put Mazur on trial in Warsaw.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrote a letter to Polish authorities saying their new extradition motion should include more substantial evidence against Mazur, the Polish Wprost daily reported.
Polish authorities sought Mazur's extradition in 2005 and in 2007 a Chicago court turned the request down on insufficient evidence grounds.
