An extradition request can be understood as an action wherein one sovereign jurisdiction delivers a person either acquitted or convicted of an international crime to the law enforcement of another jurisdiction upon their official request. Compliance with an extradition request involves transferring the physical custody of the accused person to the legal authority of the requesting jurisdiction.
The requests for extradition are issued by a requesting country to another country (generally referred to as Requested Country) for returning an accused who has flown to Requested country post committing a crime in the Requesting Country.
Extradition requests are made in accordance with international conventions, bilateral treaties or special agreements entered by two countries to extradite the alleged criminal.
Where the proposal has already been sent by the requesting party, Interpol will arrest the suspect and produce him to the Public Prosecution within 48 hours of his arrest.
Investigations have been carried out, the custody period ends and the requesting country fails to ask for the suspect back.
The crime must be considered an offense, be punishable in both countries and punishment must be imprisonment
