引渡法

Extradition is handled under a treaty, and if there is no treaty or the treaty has no rule on the issue, this Act applies.

外國政府請求引渡時，必須提出引渡請求書，並載明被請求引渡者資訊、犯罪事實與證據、請求引渡目的及互惠保證，還要保證遵守特定限制。

提出引渡請求書時，應附上列明的證據、請求國法院的拘票和起訴書或有罪判決書，以及該國關於處罰此罪的現行法規。

外國政府在緊急情形下，於提出引渡請求書前，可以先以函電請求拘提羈押擬引渡的人犯，但要載明指定事項與起訴或判決有罪的事實。

被請求引渡人被扣押的財物和文件，應記錄品名與數量並保管；引渡請求獲准後，連同人犯一併移交，但第三人所有或依法不得扣押者除外。

Foreign governments may transit extradited persons through ROC territory only after ROC government consent, and consent may be withheld if the transit could harm ROC interests.

外交部收到引渡請求後，應連同相關文件，送請法務部交由人犯所在地的地方法院檢察處辦理；如果人犯所在不明，則交由適當的地方法院檢察處辦理。

After a request for extradition is received by the competent court prosecutor’s office, the prosecutor may order arrest and detention of the person involved, according to criminal procedure law.

人犯到場後，檢察官須在24小時內訊問、告知引渡請求內容，並儘速把案件移送法院；法院受理後，得依刑事訴訟法命拘提羈押人犯。

法院收到引渡請求案件後，應通知被請求引渡人相關事實證據，並命其在通知後60日內提出答辯書。

The requested extraditee may choose a lawyer to defend them.

Extradition may be allowed when the offense is punishable under both Taiwan law and the requesting state’s law, but not if Taiwan law sets a maximum prison term of one year or less.

法院在特定期間屆滿後應安排言詞辯論並通知檢察官、被請求引渡人及其辯護人；辯論終結後5日內要作成決定書；收到答辯書後30日內要終結案件。

法院作成決定書後，應依規定將案件逐級送請總統核定；若不能依第六條決定解交國，也要在決定書內寫明請總統決定。

If extradition is granted, the competent court prosecutor office must immediately notify the person sought. If extradition is refused, it must immediately cancel detention, and the requesting country may not ask for extradition again in the same case.

The Foreign Ministry must notify the requesting state of the reasons for allowing extradition and arrange for designated personnel to receive the extradition within 60 days. If the requesting state does not do so in time, the person must be released and the same case cannot be requested again.

引渡由行政院指派的人員執行。

請求引渡所產生的費用，無論引渡是否獲准，都由請求國負擔。

This provision says the law takes effect on the date it is promulgated.

If an act is military, political, or religious in nature, extradition may be refused. Certain acts are not treated as political offenses.

如果請求引渡的人是中華民國國民，應拒絕引渡；但若其是在請求引渡後才取得中華民國國籍，則不適用。

對符合特定法院處理結果或審理狀態的引渡請求，應拒絕引渡；若引渡人另有他案已在中華民國法院繫屬，則先等該訴訟終結或刑罰執行完畢後再引渡。

If more than one country requests extradition of the same person and extradition is allowed under a treaty or this law, the order of surrender is set by specific priority rules.

未經中華民國政府同意，請求國不得追訴或處罰引渡請求書所載以外的犯罪；但在特定情況下有例外。

請求國未經中華民國政府同意，不得將已引渡的人犯再引渡給第三國；但符合前條第一項但書情形者除外。

Extradition requests are to be made through diplomatic channels to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
