A man alleged to have faked his own death before fleeing from the United States to Scotland has accused the prosecutor trying to extradite him of “ritualised child sex abuse”.

David Leavitt, the Utah county attorney, wants Nicholas Rossi, also known as Nick Alahverdian, to be flown to the US, where he is wanted in connection with a rape charge. However, the man arrested at a Glasgow hospital in December insists that he is an Irish-born former tutor called Arthur Knight who has never set foot in America.

In December 2021, he was discovered in a hospital in Scotland, while undergoing treatment for COVID-19. He was arrested on charges of an alleged rape in Utah in 2008 (a sealed arrest warrant had been issued in September 2020), in addition to other alleged crimes. Efforts are being made to extradite him to the United States.

Tattoos gave fugitive Nicholas Alahverdian away

An American fugitive who faked his death and disguised himself with a blond moustache and a well-spoken English accent had his cover blown by his tattoos, a court was told.

Nicholas Alahverdian, 34, who also goes by the names of Arthur Knight and Nicholas Rossi, appeared in court yesterday to deny being the man the FBI and Interpol are after.

He was arrested last month at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) after he contracted Covid-19 and is facing extradition to the US, where he is wanted in connection with sexual assault and fraud charges.

Police and hospital staff identified Alahverdian as being Rossi from tattoos on his body that matched pictures the police had.

Identity of man accused of being US fugitive should be confirmed next month

The identity of a man who authorities are seeking to extradite to the US could be confirmed at a court hearing next month.

The man is believed to be Nicholas Rossi, an alleged US fugitive who is said to have faked his death before hiding in Scotland to evade sex charges in Utah.

But the 34-year-old – who appeared in court in a wheelchair and wearing a breathing mask connected to an oxygen tank – claims to be Arthur Knight, a victim of mistaken identity who has never been to America.

At a hearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday, solicitor Becky Houston, representing the man, told the court she was appearing for “Mr Rossi” – who then interrupted her and asked her to refer to him as “Mr Knight”.

Sheriff Thomas Welsh QC, overseeing the case, asked her to call the man “my client”.

Ms Houston then confirmed the identification of the man will be discussed at a full extradition hearing set for June 9.

The defendant has instructed a QC for a consultation “next week” to go over his case, but no fixed date for that has been confirmed.

He had previously been told by a sheriff in April to instruct lawyers to represent him in the case “with haste”.

Fiscal depute Clare Kennedy confirmed the Crown will be represented by advocate depute Paul Harvey at the full hearing.

Ms Houston told the court she “needs to look at client evidence and expert evidence”.

She asked for the full hearing, which has already been rescheduled multiple times, to be delayed further, with a procedural hearing to take its place on June 9.

But Sheriff Welsh rejected the request, adding: “I am not prepared to discharge the full hearing.

“The advocate depute and counsel needs to be here to explain why the hearing has been discharged again.”

A date was then arranged for the May 26 for lawyers to discuss any “issues” before the full hearing, which is still set to go ahead next month.

The case has made headlines since the man was arrested at a hospital in Glasgow after checking himself in with Covid-19 under the name “Arthur Knight”.

He was released on bail, but arrested a second time at his home address in the Scottish city after he missed an extradition hearing in January.

US prosecutors claim the man is Rossi, who raped a 21-year-old in Utah in 2008.

He is also said to have attacked women in Rhode Island, Ohio and Massachusetts.

Officials also claim the man has previously used other aliases including Nicholas Brown and Arthur Brown.

Rossi reportedly told US media in December 2019 that he had late-stage non-Hodgkin lymphoma and had weeks to live.

There was an obituary dedicated to him online, and several outlets reported that he had died in February 2020.

Laptop from hell may produce data with disaster for Joe Biden

Emails retrieved from a damaged computer owned by his son Hunter are raising questions that the US president is finding it hard to escape

Hunter Biden was announced as a member of Burisma’s board on May 12, 2014. An email dated December 9, 2016 shows that he received a “monthly fee” from Burisma of $83,333.33 a month. That amounts to $1 million a year.

Mac Isaac says the non-appearance of the laptop during the first impeachment, which concluded in February 2020 with Trump being found not guilty in a Senate vote, led him to contact several Republican senators, again via his father. He says none were interested and has not named them.

Finally he says he sent a copy in August 2020 to Giuliani’s lawyer, leading to the first story appearing in the New York Post on October 14, 2020. The first time he heard anything from the Bidens since the external hard drive was dropped off in April 2019 was on October 13, 2020, he says, when “Hunter’s lawyer calls me to see if I was still in possession of the laptop”. He says he did what the FBI told him to do if anyone contacted him — stall, say it is in an offsite location and tell the FBI.

Since the publication he says that death threats forced him to close his shop and move away from Delaware.

His suspicions about the authorities closing ranks to protect the Bidens were fuelled when Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, appeared before Congress on October 28, 2020 to testify about election disinformation.

Zuckerberg told the Senate hearing that he was not warned specifically about the New York Post laptop story but that the FBI “alerted us to be on heightened alert around a risk of hack and leak operations, around a released trove of information”.

Mac Isaac calls the appearance of “collusion” between federal authorities and media “obscene”.

“It’s like they had the whole year that they were in possession of it, that they were waiting for something to happen, and then I decided to do something. And then they immediately warn.”

Tensions were flying between the Utah County Attorney and Sheriff Mike Smith on Wednesday.

County Attorney David Leavitt asked Smith to resign, even calling for an investigation into his activities. It all stems from an investigation into allegations of a ritualistic child sexual abuse and child sex trafficking case that took place over a 20-year period beginning in 1990.

Lawmakers pass bill targeting Utah County Attorney’s progressive policies

For months, police officers and former prosecutors have been increasingly outspoken in their criticism of Utah County Attorney David Leavitt, accusing him of being soft on crime and making the county more dangerous.

Now state lawmakers have passed House Bill 257, motivated by Leavitt’s policies.
