HOOKING £2M OFF YOU
Hate preacher Abu Hamza will have cost US taxpayers nearly £1million — after UK taxpayers spent £1m on extradition
Hamza is currently in solitary confinement at ADX Florence 'supermax' prison in Colorado
HATE preacher Abu Hamza’s imprisonment in the US will have cost American taxpayers almost £1million by the time his appeal ends.
The sum can be added to the £1million UK taxpayers spent on the eight -year legal battle to get him extradited to the US.
Hook-handed Hamza is in solitary confinement at ADX Florence “supermax” prison in Colorado.
He was convicted of 11 charges of terrorism and kidnapping in 2015 and sentenced to life in jail.
The lag launched an appeal which judges will rule on later this year.
His lawyer said the cases would cost the US public at least £900,000.
