Reclaiming Passports During The Extradition Process

When there is an international arrest warrant for an individual, whilst waiting for extradition the individual is deprived of their passport. If the precautionary period lapses, you only have to ask to re-acquire your passport.

Not all those for whom an international arrest warrant is issued should be considered criminals.

The investigations that follow the detention serve to ascertain just that, namely if the detentainee can be considered a danger to society.

The granting of extradition shall be subject to verification of the charges and of the possible consequences of being trasnfered to the country that has made the request.

If the charges are not considered crimes in Italy, or if the transfer could result in unqual or inhumane treatment of the individual (or in the worst case scenario, the death penalty) our country will refuse to deliver the person.
