The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is extraditing an accused criminal back to U.S. soil for his role in the fatal shooting of a married couple during a gun deal gone wrong.

LCSO said Craig Lang appeared in federal court for his first appearance.

He was recently apprehended overseas after authorities said he was involved in the robbery and double homicide of a married couple in 2018.

He had been fighting extradition back to the United States from Ukraine for years.

It happened in Estero, and Lang is one of two suspects who were charged.

Co-defendant Alex Jared Zweifelhofer was found guilty in federal court back in March and is currently awaiting sentencing.

He is now in Lee County Jail awaiting trial.
