Key legal question
Whether extradition to Italy had to be refused because Swiss authorities were allegedly competent to prosecute the drug offences.
Extracted holding
No. Swiss subsidiary jurisdiction for narcotics offences had fallen away once Italy clearly indicated it would prosecute and request extradition.
Extracted reasoning
The Swiss authorities had inquired with the cantonal prosecutor, which confirmed that the drug conduct was concretely situated in Italy and that Switzerland had not pursued those offences once Italy claimed jurisdiction. Swiss jurisdiction under the narcotics law did not block extradition.
