According to charges backed by a European arrest warrant, a person died after the male suspect fired three shots at his black BMW car in the car park of a shopping centre in Wiener Neustadt on the night on Sept. 24.
When the suspect tried to cross the Hungarian border at Röszke, border guards seized a Walther pistol loaded with two rounds and further 35 rounds of ammunition.
The Turkish suspect had no permit to own a firearm or to transport it through Hungarian territory, the court said in a statement.
The Hungarian authorities launched proceedings against the man whose arrest was ordered by the Szeged County court on Sept. 26.
Today the Municipal Court ordered the suspect’s simplified extradition in a binding ruling.
