A Ugandan court has ruled to allow the extradition of Michael Katungi Mpeirwe, a former director of diaspora affairs for the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU). Katungi is wanted in the United States on charges relating to an alleged international drug-trafficking and weapons conspiracy. He previously held positions as an African Union policy advisor and served in the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF). Katungi had attempted to prevent his extradition, but the court dismissed his objections. The decision paves the way for his transfer to the US to face the pending charges. Further details surrounding the case were not immediately available. This ruling marks a significant development in the ongoing legal battle.
