The European Detention Order & Extradition

Our lawyers note that extradition is not permitted in all cases, for example, members of the political press cannot be extradited, however, people who have committed acts of terrorism are not considered as political press. Similarly, it is not permitted when the requesting state has not given sufficient guarantees. Cases involving extradition are complex and there are various means of avoiding the extradition of a client.

Also, our Spanish Lawyers can help if you have been arrested in your country and Spain is asking for you to be extradited to Spain.

On their part, the European Detention Order and delivery is a judicial resolution stated in a member state of the European Union, with the aim of detaining criminals and handing them over to the other State within the European Union. A person is recalled for: carrying out criminal actions (extradited for prosecution) or for carrying out a sentence or security precaution, with the deprivation of liberty (extradition for the completion of a sentence). This proceeding substitutes the extradition proceeding through the application of a smoother system of delivering wanted persons.
