Temat: Extradited to Poland for stealing a pudding
I found this in the paper about the Polish government flooding the UK with trivial extradition requests. Surely this is a waste of money for both countries. According to the International Herald Tribune, Belgium have stopped automatically processing Polish requests due to timewasting. I wonder why they're doing it.....The increase is largely down to the volume of European arrest warrants (EAWs), many of them issued by Poland.
EAWs, requiring the arrest and extradition of suspects from one EU country to another, are being used by Poland for a "large volume of trivial extradition requests", according to Detective Sergeant Gary Flood of Scotland Yard's extradition unit.
He estimated that 40% of all extradition cases dealt with by the Metropolitan police originated in Poland, adding that many of the offences were so minor they would lead to either a caution or no investigation at all in England and Wales.
In one case, according to Flood, a carpenter who fitted wardrobe doors and then removed them when the client refused to pay him, was subject to an extradition request by Poland so that they could try him for theft. In another case, the Polish authorities requested the extradition of a suspect for theft of a dessert. "The European arrest warrant contained a list of the ingredients," Flood said.
