About this statute

This provision says the extradition law implements two EU framework decisions and applies to persons suspected, charged, or convicted of an offence in Denmark or abroad. Section 15 lists when extradition cannot happen or can be refused, mainly because of prior judgment, pardon, pending domestic proceedings, lack of dual criminality, or human-rights risks. Section 41 sets conditions for extradition from Denmark, mainly for EU and non-EU requests, including offence thresholds, required warrant/request information, and several safeguards and refusal grounds. Certain investigative measures may be used to promote the investigation and secure surrender/extradition, to the same extent as in comparable domestic criminal cases, subject to subsection 3 and a further reference that is cut off in the source. Section 33 lets police photograph and take fingerprints of extradition-requested persons, allows the justice minister to set related rules, and gives the court powers over extradition procedure and costs.
