Default Re: The heart of the matter: extradition

Here is Wiki on extradition

Note the section:

[ QUOTE ]
Generally, an extradition treaty requires that a country seeking extradition be able to show that:

* The relevant crime is sufficiently serious.
* There exists a prima facie case against the individual sought.
* The event in question qualifies as a crime in both countries.
* The extradited person can reasonably expect a fair trial in the recipient country.
* The likely penalty will be proportionate to the crime.

If I was an officer of a potential target company I would be concerned about it, if I was a shareholder, I may say take the heat, that is why we are paying you.

Note that NY refused to extradite one of the recently arrested execs (bodog?) to LA. So tough to know if Britian will extradite to the US, I guess. Fair to say we know where Antigua stands.
