Abstract

The article studies double criminality as a fundamental rule of extradition. Two criminal procedural problems are investigated that arise when we check an extradition crime for double imputation: the existence of a crucial difference in the dispositions of regulations, and the existence of a regulation which is conditioned by an administrative prejudice in the legislation of one of the extradition states. The author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to observe the principle of the presumption of non-extradition if there are doubts about the criminal punishability of the extradition act under the legislation of one of the extradition states.
