PRITI Patel begged the US to take on the prosecution of a man previously suspected of being a member of the so-called Beatles Isis cell, a court was told.
The then-home secretary’s “extraordinary” intervention was made in a legal argument over Aine Davis’s case at the Old Bailey in March.
The court heard British authorities connived in the deportation of the Londoner from Turkey with a view to him being extradited onwards to the United States to face fresh charges there.
