About this statute

Special rules apply to extradition for crimes between Finland and other EU member states and between Finland and the other Nordic countries. Utlämning för brott som begåtts i Finland eller på ett finskt fartyg eller luftfartyg får ske bara om vissa villkor är uppfyllda. Utlämning får normalt inte ske om gärningen inte motsvarar ett brott med minst ett års maximistraff i Finland, men det finns undantag för vissa penningförfalskningsrelaterade gärningar. The extradited person may not be prosecuted or punished for other pre-extradition offences, re-extradited to another state, tried in a specially empowered court without permission, or have a death sentence carried out, subject to the stated exceptions. If several foreign states seek extradition of the same person, the Justice Ministry decides which state extradition will go to; if the requests concern different crimes, it may also decide on onward extradition to another state.
