Extradition

Defending Extradition

Due to the growing ease of cross-border travel crime has become generally more international than ever before.

Consequently, national police forces are increasingly cooperating and its now become far more common for one country to seek to extradite an individual to another for investigation or trial.

If you are being investigated or charged in an overseas jurisdiction, then extradition could be a very real risk for you. In particular, if you visit any country that has entered into a formal agreement with the investigating jurisdiction, you could face a real risk of detention and/or deportation. As such, it is important to seek reliable and expert legal advice.
