CRIME
Judgment givenCase summary:The appeal concerns a challenge to the validity of a European Arrest Warrant issued for the Appellant in February 2019 in Croatia. Where a person has been convicted and sentenced in a requesting state, voluntarily absenting himself from part of those proceedings, and has thereafter acquired residency in the executing state, is the Magistrates’ Court entitled to order that a European Arrest Warrant be executed, in the absence of an undertaking in accordance with sections 8(2) and 8A(3) of the European Arrest Warrant Act 2004? If the answer to that question is no, was the Supreme Court of Gibraltar obligated to allow the appeal, quash the Surrender Order made against the Appellant, and release him from custody?
