A suspected jewel thief believed to belong to the notorious Pink Panther gang, thought to be behind Dubai’s biggest jewellery heist, has been told he must serve jail time in Cyprus before being extradited to Spain. Police captured Rifat Hadz-iahmetovic, a 41-year-old Montenegrin, last month as he tried to leave the island using a fake Bulgarian passport. He was jailed yesterday by Larnaca district court for nine months after he was found guilty of travelling on forged documents. “The court agreed on his extradition to Spain, but only after serving his prison time in Cyprus for circulating fake documents,” police inspector Christos Andreou said. He said the attorney general could commute his sentence to fast-track the extradition, but that the defence could appeal against such a decision.
