Question juridique clé
Whether extradition was barred because the case was allegedly of minor importance under Art. 4 EIMP.
Solution extraite
No. The alleged offences met the treaty threshold for extradition, and Art. 4 EIMP could not be used to refuse extradition on proportionality grounds in these circumstances.
Motifs extraits
The Convention on Extradition only requires punishability by at least one year of deprivation of liberty in both states. The amount involved was far above the minor-offence threshold used in Swiss domestic law; no additional gravity condition exists under the treaty.
