🇮🇹 Italy → 🇺🇸 United States

The requested person challenged his extradition from Italy to the United States for conspiracy, computer fraud and money laundering, principally alleging a risk of inhuman or degrading treatment at the Essex County Correctional Facility. The Supreme Court held that the Court of Appeal had adequately investigated the individual risk through three requests for supplementary information and could rely on the official assurances supplied by the requesting State. The existence of organisational deficiencies or isolated incidents of violence did not establish a concrete risk of systemic violations of fundamental rights. The Court also found that converting criminal proceeds into bitcoin could satisfy double criminality by corresponding to the Italian offence of self-laundering. The further complaints concerning speciality, proportionality of punishment, credit for time spent under house arrest and the right to a fair trial were rejected as hypothetical or unfounded. Extradition was therefore upheld.
