There is no formal extradition treaty between Thailand and Greece, but that does not mean he cannot be extradited back here.

It would be a very complex, and long drawn out process, but, if he has committed the murder, it is possible it could be done. Also, should he travel to any other country that does have a formal extradition treaty, he will be arrested on arrival, and the process to return him here would be a lot easier. 

Policeman and girlie both came to equally unhappy endings... redbulls and blueballs must both equally get their Karmas

Whatever happened to the presumption of innocence? They have found him guilty already!

A Red Notice is a request to locate and provisionally arrest an individual pending extradition. It is issued by the General Secretariat at the request of a member country or an international tribunal based on a valid national arrest warrant.

The issue of a red notice does not dispense with the principle of innocent until proven guilty.  Evidence that the alleged murderer may be guilty of the offence has been laid before court and it has considered there is sufficient evidence to prosecute, therefore an arrest warrant is issued for his detention in order that he can be brought before the court to face the charges.  A court will later decide, on submission of all evidence, whether he is guilty or not.

Personally I think under the climate of a junta, the enforcement of any warrant would be refused and appealed.

Yes but if the country has the death penalty and there's always the chance then as I said most countries won't extradite and I think Interpol will not get involved either.

Both statements are incorrect.

 

But if you want to believe that, please keep doing so.

Off topic trolling posts and the off topic replies have been removed. 

The cops are just pretending they are doing something. They love to use buzzwords too. Here if it doesn't pay (and this certainly doesn't) the cops don't play. They have forgotten about it already.

They uk and many others will not extradite a person to a country that may sentence them to the death penalty.its all covered by international human rights.they they will if given assurance that the person will not receive the death penalty or executed but otherwise they won't extradite.as for Interpol they are in a grey area and will only assist the the law in that country.many countries have different rules so we could argue the toss all day long.

"they they will if given assurance that the person will not receive the death penalty or executed"

Which is what I said, "Normally they will provided death sentence will not be asked for" to which you responded " Yes but if the country has the death penalty and there's always the chance then as I said most countries won't extradite and I think Interpol will not get involved either. ".

 

Glad you have come to see the light now and we agree on this.

I won't bother to try to address most of the incorrect statements made here, but will suggest you look up the Lee Aldhouse case

Greece will never send any of their citizens to get water boarded in Thailand

Yes i know of that case and the Thai authorities had to reassure the British government that he would not receive the death penalty or be executed before they would extradite him else they would not of sent him back here.

So that's why you were giving incorrect information first, but finally saw the light.

Sorry would have been sufficient.
