22-year-old Extradited To Greece For Attacking Croydon Footballer in Crete

22-year-old Joseph Bruckland, of Hookwood, Surrey, has been extradited to Greece on charges of having brutally attacked former Sutton United and Croydon Athletic footballer Robbie Hughes in Malia, Crete, in June 2008.

In addition to Bruckland, Curtis Taylor, Daniel Bell, Sean Branton, Benjamin Herdman, and George Hollands were all extradited to Greece last year and are now expected to face trial within the following months.

According to Sutton Guardian, the Greek authorities delayed issuing a European arrest warrant for Bruckland because he faced criminal proceedings in the UK.

After attacking a rugby player and escaping the local police, a court decided to extradite Bruckland on December 8 and the young offender was flown to Greece on December 29, where he was immediately arrested by the Greek police.
