Is suspected people smuggler extradited to Italy the wrong man?

Friends of a man arrested and extradited on suspicion of being a people smuggling mastermind say police have captured the wrong man.

Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA) says it is aware of the claims following an international operation to capture one of the world’s most-wanted people smugglers.
Known as “The General,” Mered Medhanie, 35, was arrested and extradited to Italy after being accused of being a key smuggler of people from Africa to Europe.
