Three European countries say they will refuse UK extradition requests now Brexit has happened
European fugitives could flee from the UK to their home countries as three EU countries confirm they will not extradite their own nationals to Britain now that Brexit has happened.
Austria, Germany, and Slovenia confirmed they would not extradite their nationals to the UK during the 11-month transition period which starts tomorrow. Currently, the UK's extradition powers are governed by the European Arrest Warrant, which EU member states are signed up to. "The European Arrest Warrant continues to apply during the Implementation Period," a spokesperson said.
The loophole only applies to each country's own citizens. Each of the three member states will still be able to extradite UK citizens, or other EU nationals under the European Arrest Warrant during the transition period.
