Brian Howes, 44, and his pregnant wife, Kerry Ann Shanks, 30, are wanted by US authorities as part of an investigation into the alleged production of crystal meth.
The couple, now of Bo’ness, West Lothian, could face 82 charges of supplying chemicals over the internet to people believed to be involved in producing methamphetamine.The charges carry a potential jail penalty of almost 100 years.
A Scottish sheriff last year approved the extradition and referred the case to Scottish ministers for a decision.Scottish justice secretary Kenny MacAskill signed the extradition order but the pair appealed. Now the High Court in Edinburgh is to hear the appeal, starting on March 4.
