~M~ You are right that the extradition agreements should be equitable; but I don't see that as an excuse for letting crooks go free. ...You either support equity & justice or you don't...

Richard, You say...The point is WHERE the alleged crime is committed...;

my contention is that if you steal from an American who is living in America then that is where the crime happens. However, if we go with you interpretation that the crime was committed in the UK, then he should have been tried in the UK.
