Extradition laws in Australia?
Hello, I am unclear of the extradition laws in Australia, and plan to move there with my sister soon from the US. She recently stole around $30,000 from a co-worker (long story) and needs to leave the country asap. Will the USA extradite her from Australia over $30,000? Suggestions? Thank you.
Answer:
This surely has to be a joke question.
However, under Australian federal law, extradition applications from foreign countries go before state magistrates, who assess their validity before referring them to the federal Attorney-General or Justice Minister for final adjudication.
So. it doesn't look good for your sister.
