FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Paul Douglas Peters has waived extradition and will return to Australia to face charges.
THE SYDNEY businessman accused of placing a fake bomb around the neck of schoolgirl Madeleine Pulver in an attempt to extort money from her millionaire father is headed back to Sydney to face criminal charges.
Paul Douglas Peters, 50, appeared in the US District Court in Louisville early this morning local time and told the judge he would no longer contest being taken back.
“He wants to get to Australia and get these matters addressed and deal with the charges facing him there,” his lawyer, Thomas Clay, said after the hearing.
Dressed in a black-and-white striped prison uniform, Mr Peters gave US Magistrate Judge Dave Whalin simple answers about whether he understood the meaning of the waiver. “I have sir, indeed,” he said.
Asked if anyone made threats or promises to ensure the waiver of extradition, Mr Peters replied: “None whatsoever.”

Judge Whalin turned Mr Peters over to the US Marshal’s Office to await transport by Australian authorities. Mr Clay said his client, who has been in the Oldham County Jail, should return to Australia in about a week.
“The Oldham County Jail is no bed of roses,” he said. “He wants to get out of there and go back and face the charges.”
Mr Peters said through his lawyer that he would plead not guilty to kidnapping, demanding property by force with intent to steal, and aggravated break and enter.
Before and after the hearing, Mr Peters communicated with his ex-wife, Deborah Lee Peters, who lives in Louisville. At one point, he mouthed to her “Are you OK?” then nodded his head after she signalled a response.
As he left the courtroom, Mr Peters waved behind his back to his ex-wife, who declined to comment.
Australian police said in US court documents that Mr Peters allegedly broke into Madeleine’s home in Mosman, Sydney, last month wearing a ski mask and carrying a bag and baseball bat.
He allegedly strapped a device around her neck with a note warning that it was a booby-trapped bomb and warned Madeleine not to call police.
The documents say he also left a note instructing the Pulver family to contact an email address to discuss an unspecified ransom payment. The name on the email address was Dirk Struan, a character in James Clavell’s novel Tai-Pan.
That address and a USB stick left with the “bomb” led to Mr Peters’ arrest at his ex-wife’s home in Louisville. He had left Australia on August 8, five days after the attack on Madeleine.
Madeleine, 18, and the police assisting her suffered a tense 10-hour ordeal until X-rays of the device finally revealed it contained no detonator or explosives and it was removed.
Mr Peters’ extradition waiver was negotiated between his lawyer and lawyers from the US District-Attorney’s office and the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s office in Canberra.
If Mr Peters had gone through the extradition process, Australian authorities would have been barred from filing additional charges against him. But, because he did, that ban is no longer in place.
NSW police will make arrangements to travel to Kentucky and transport Mr Peters back to Australia, where he will be arrested and charged him immediately upon arrival.
The news of Mr Peters extradition waiver will be relief to the Pulver family, who had been expecting he might return the day before Madeleine sits her first HSC exam.
Madeleine’s mother Belinda said: “He was meant to come back here the day before Maddie started the HSC, which wasn’t ideal timing.
“If it is September rather than October he comes back here, that would be good.”
Mrs Pulver said Maddie was continuing to look forward, not backward, and the HSC was her focus.
“She’s had her life turned upside down … but she’s getting on with things as best she can,” Mrs Pulver said.
“She only has two more weeks of school to go, and then it’s the exams, so it’s a big time for her right now.”
