A SCOTS couple with six children are to be extradited to the USA for allegedly exporting chemicals to make highly addictive crystal meth, after judges at the highest appeal court in the country rejected their bid to remain in Britain.
The decision was made despite an emotional plea by the couple who believe splitting up the family is contrary to article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The woman was released on bail and her now estranged husband was held in custody following the ruling by the Supreme Court.
