McCann suspect's extradition to Germany is acceptable after Italy's agreement, EU court adviser says

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A German man whom investigators suspect of murdering British toddler Madeleine McCann can be extradited to Germany on a separate rape charge after German authorities received the go-ahead from Italy for the extradition, an adviser to Europe's top court said on Thursday.

Christian B, who lived in the Algarve region of Portugal when 3-year-old Madeleine vanished from her bedroom in 2007, had challenged the validity of the European arrest warrant issued by Germany because it cited a drugs conviction but not the 2005 rape charge.
