Key legal question
Whether the respondent could invoke salvus conductus under Art. 12 EUeR and Art. 73 IRSG.
Extracted holding
No. He entered Switzerland voluntarily for business and private reasons, not in order to comply with the summons, so the protection did not apply.
Extracted reasoning
The purpose of salvus conductus is to prevent evasion of extradition rules and to induce persons to travel for the proceeding. Here, there was no enticement or abuse: the stay in Switzerland was independent of the summons, and the summons merely confirmed an already arranged appointment.
