Case Law
EAW and postponement of surrender: only proceedings pending in Italy against the requested person are relevant (not mere filing of a criminal complaint)
Summary
EAW: only the existence of criminal proceedings pending in Italy against the requested person may be taken into account by the Court of Appeal within the framework of the grounds for postponement of surrender under Article 24 of Law No. 69 of 2005, and on the basis of an assessment of expediency in the light of the criteria already identified by this Court. The documentation most recently produced by the appellant cannot be taken into consideration, since it postdates the surrender decision and, in any event, the mere filing of a criminal complaint cannot, as a matter of principle, affect the decision on surrender.
