CHRISTOPHER Tappin will be extradited to the United States next Friday (February 24), his lawyer has said.
The retired businessman, who lives in Farnborough Park, Orpington, has been asked to attend Heathrow police station on February 24, when US marshals will escort him in custody to America, his lawyer Karen Todner said.
Mr Tappin is accused of conspiring to sell components for Iranian missiles.
The 65-year-old failed in a last-ditch plea to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to block extradition earlier this week.
