Authenticated foreign investigative materials and hearsay may establish probable cause for extradition
✕
Summary
The court certified extradition to Thailand after finding that a detailed affidavit from a Thai prosecutor, supported by hearsay summaries of witness statements and financial evidence, was sufficient to establish probable cause. The court emphasized that extradition proceedings are not trials, that hearsay is admissible, and that probable cause may rest on authenticated foreign investigative materials. The opinion also held that, once a court certifies extraditability, 18 U.S.C. § 3184 requires detention pending surrender, rejecting the view that courts retain discretion to continue bail after certification
