Boudrika: Germany Agrees to Hand Over Ex-Raja President to Morocco
Rabat – Germany has approved the extradition of Mohamed Boudrika, ex-MP and former president of Raja Casablanca, to Morocco after Hamburg's higher court ruled in favor on February 26. Boudrika will remain locked up until all the paperwork is ready. Boudrika was arrested in July at Hamburg Airport on an international warrant after he was linked to alleged illegal financial dealings. Europol flagged him, and German authorities swooped on him. In Morocco, his troubles are piling up. Last January, the court booted him from the parliament for missing an entire legislative year without explanation. Officials sent 41 notices to his registered address – all returned as undeliverable. The court officially declared his parliamentary seat for the Al Fida-Mers Sultan vacant. Adding to the family's downfall, Boudrika's brother, Abdellah, was sentenced to five years in prison for faking real estate contracts in a scheme that surfaced during a police investigation into property. A well-known notary got six years, and other accomplices were also jailed. Boudrika's handover is now just a matter of time. He's likely to be hurled straight to Casablanca's court to stand trial for financial crimes. The case is ongoing, with more updates to follow. Tags: Mohamed BoudrikaRaja Casablanca

300 flights cancelled at Hamburg airport as strike starts early
Nearly 300 flights were cancelled at Hamburg airport on Sunday as ground handlers walked out ahead of wider strikes planned across Germany on Monday. German trade union Verdi had not given notice of the move, and airport workers walked out after 10 flights had gone through in the morning, Hamburg Airport said in a statement. The action led to the cancellation of 144 arrivals and 139 departures, affecting more than 40,000 passengers, it said. Verdi, which represents airport ground handling staff and public sector workers, said strike action would continue on Monday, and would also impact passenger security checks. The action would severely disrupt plans for families trying to travel during local spring holidays, the airport said. The union is demanding an eight per cent wage hike, or an increase of at least 350 euros (AED 1,400) per month, as well as higher bonuses and additional time off. Employers have rejected the demands as unaffordable. Verdi is escalating action after staging several walk-outs last month. "Two rounds of strikes between talks already. That is clearly excessive and unfair to tens of thousands of travellers who have nothing to do with the disputes," said a spokesperson for Hamburg airport. A spokesperson for Verdi in Hamburg, asked about the surprise move, said that the union had taken the last-minute action to ensure it had maximum impact. "We do this to put pressure on the employer so that finally a reasonable offer comes to the table in the negotiations," the spokesperson said. "We can only make the strikes effective by calling for short-term action at the weekend." Other airports to be affected on Monday include Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart, Cologne/Bonn, Duesseldorf, Dortmund, Hanover, Bremen, Berlin and Leipzig-Halle.

German airport workers strike leading to hundreds of flight cancellations
March 10 (UPI) -- A strike at Germany's Hamburg Airport left all outgoing flights canceled Monday, with more airports likely to soon be affected. The airport announced that the German trade union has called for a strike affecting several areas at the facility, including passenger security checks and aircraft handling, making departures impossible. The expected daily load of over 40,000 passengers on Sunday, with 139 departures and 144 arrivals at the airport in Germany's second-largest city, was reduced to only 10 flights before the strike began at 6:30 a.m. local time. The strike began with no notice, at the busy beginning of the city's spring break. said in a press release that its members would also soon stop working Monday "at the airports in Munich, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden, Frankfurt/Main, Cologne/Bonn, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Weeze, Hanover, Bremen, Hamburg, Berlin-Brandenburg and Leipzig-Halle to fight for fair wages and better conditions." German airports in these cities are issuing warnings for the public to anticipate heavy restrictions on passenger traffic and reduced flight schedules. The union also stated that it's "calling for better working conditions, more free time and fair pay for all employees in the federal and local public service," including its own members. The work action was advanced a day at Hamburg Airport from the previously announced overall March 10 strike start in order to put added pressure on the airports and to keep them from bringing in nonunion workers to cover the loss of employees. Arrivals are expected to continue but will be subject to cancellations and disruptions. Talks between the two sides are scheduled for Friday in Potsdam.
