Swimsuit model Mária Kukučová, the prime suspect in the murder of British businessman and ex-boyfriend Andrew Bush, has given consent for her extradition to Spain, said her lawyer Matuš Gemeš on Wednesday.
Kukučová claims that she fled from Spain because she witnessed men in uniform visiting her ex-boyfriend’s villa to receive baksheesh money from him. “The prosecutor now has ten days to make a decision on carrying out the European arrest warrant and no appeal is possible against that decision,” said Gemeš, adding that his client could be prosecuted in Spain for no other crime but the murder of Bush. If found guilty, she could face some 20 years in jail. Gemeš stressed that Kukučová surrendered herself to Slovak authorities on 8 April in the afternoon, whereas the European arrest warrant was delivered to Slovak police and Prosecutor’s Office only in late evening - by the time she was already under arrest in Slovakia.
