Kernrechtsfrage
Whether extradition could be refused because the Italian absentia proceedings allegedly violated minimum defence rights under the Second Additional Protocol to the E extradition Convention.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The file showed that he knew of the proceedings, was assisted by counsel, and had the chance to defend himself; the minimum defence rights were respected.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court would not review the quality of the defence in detail. No request for more preparation time or appeal against the Italian judgments was shown, and the appellant had chosen to evade the proceedings after release.
