Arrest Warrants

Mr. MacShane
To ask the Solicitor-General if she will lift the European Arrest Warrant which has led to the detention of Wansanatha Bulugah Aitya in Frankfurt.

The Solicitor-General
The European Arrest Warrant was executed on 27 December 2009 and the extradition process is under way in Germany.

A decision in an individual case not to pursue an extradition request would in any event be made by the relevant prosecuting agency, not by me or any other Minister.
