Purpose and legislative effect
“The Minister may order a magistrate to take evidence for a criminal matter in another country, and the magistrate must record, certify, and send it to the Minister.”
The Minister may order a magistrate to take evidence for a criminal matter in another country, and the magistrate must record, certify, and send it to the Minister. A surrendered person generally cannot be tried in Tanzania for earlier offences until returned or given a chance to return, except for crimes proved by the surrender facts. This section says certain countries are treated as countries to which Part II applies, unless displaced by orders under section 3 or 27. This section repeals three listed fugitive-criminals/offenders laws and disapplies the UK Fugitive Offender Act, 1881. This schedule lists crimes that are treated as extradition crimes.
