The decision means that the alleged agent, Uri Brodsky, must be handed over to Germany within 10 days.
Warsaw's appeals court on Thursday upheld a July ruling ordering Brodsky extradited to Germany on forgery charges only. That means he can only be tried in Germany for forgery and not spying, which would spare Israel a possibly embarrassing espionage trial.
Brodsky was arrested in Warsaw in June on a European warrant charging him with espionage and helping to falsely obtain a German passport. The passport was allegedly used in connection with the Jan. 19 slaying of Hamas commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai.
The Mabhouh case led to international outrage over forged passports. Israeli diplomats were expelled from Ireland and Australia.

'Brodsky' must be handed over to Germany within the next ten days. The reason he cannot be charged with the other crimes? They're not crimes in Poland.

the only charge he is facing is forgery of passports. that doesn't even sound reasonable to me.
