The men were accused by Vietnamese oficials of hijacking the Malaysia MT Orkim Harmony oil tanker. They were taken into custody after officials discovered they were carrying large sums of cash, and were accused of hijacking the MT Orkim Harmony oil tanker. The group spoke Indonesian, officials said, and both Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur requested to have the men extradited. "The court accepted Malaysia's proposal to extradite the men to Malaysia" based on Vietnam's mutual legal support laws with Malaysia, the report added. Court officials did not respond for a request to comment Monday, though the report said the suspects have 15 days to appeal the ruling.
