Are You Worried About Extradition?

Even if you only suspect that an extradition request in your name is on its way, or that INTERPOL might be processing data relating to you, it pays to be prepared.

Taking pre-emptive action may also enable you to avoid an unexpected arrest, or to put in place procedures to maximise your chances of bail should the worst happen.

What countries can the UK extradite you to?

Extradition between countries is normally regulated by extradition treaties. Extradition treaties are specific to any two countries and often vary in order to accommodate different legal systems. In general terms, they are intended to obligate one country (the 'Requested State') to arrest and return wanted individuals (the 'Requested Person') to a country issuing the request (the 'Requesting State'). The easiest way to think of it is as a contract that creates mutual obligations for extradition between the two countries.
