Questão jurídica principal
Whether negligent false oath is extraditable under the Swiss-German extradition treaty.
Decisão extraída
No; the treaty term 'Meineid' covers only knowingly false oath, not negligent false oath.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that both German and Swiss legal usage understand Meineid as intentional false swearing. The treaty also shows that where negligent conduct was meant, it said so expressly.
