Key legal question
Whether extradition for embezzlement had to be granted under the 1874 extradition treaty after the injured party withdrew the criminal complaint.
Extracted holding
No. Because the offense was prosecutable only upon complaint under Zurich law and the complaint had been withdrawn, extradition had to be refused.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 1 No. 12 of the treaty, extradition for embezzlement is allowed only where the conduct is punishable under both states' laws. Zurich law made this type of embezzlement a complaint offense, and Art. 774 Zurich CCP required suspension once the complaint was withdrawn. The withdrawal by Junge therefore removed the basis for extradition.
