Ambassador of United Kingdom announces conditions in which Veaceslav Platon, Gheorghe Cavcaliuc might be extradited to Moldova
Chisinau, 9 February /MOLDPRES/ - Ambassador of United Kingdom to Moldova Steven Fisher has announced the conditions in which Veaceslav Platon, Constantin Botnari and Gheorghe Cavcaliuc might be extradited to Moldova. The diplomat made statements to this effect in an interview given exclusively with the MOLDPRES State News Agency.
According to the official, if Moldovan institutions wanted their citizen to be extradited in Moldova, this should be requested by legal means at the bilateral level and the British Crown Prosecution Office will analyze these legal requests.
„ If major evidence of criminality is detected in this file, the British institution will accept the cause and will send it to court. The action itself will take place, only after the court session is held and the magistrate issues a ruling on the extradition or non-extradition of the person. Thus, everything depends on how well the arguments are presented and on the ruling of judges from the United Kingdom. I know about these three persons from media, but I cannot comment on the existence of certain requests or actions at law started against them,’’ Steven Fisher said.
The ambassador stressed that all people, no matter the origin country, must go through the same action at law, in order to be extradited. „Nobody can find a ‘’paradise’’ for corrupts and criminals in our country. Our law-enforcement agencies have a very good relation with the partner institutions from the origin countries of the people and if these institutions present well-reasoned cases at the legal and juridical level, with certain evidence, our competent institutions will do their utmost to analyze and accept the requests from these countries,’’ Steven Fisher said.
Also, the official gave assurances that the law-enforcement from the United Kingdom work with the partners from Moldova, in order to help them repatriate the citizens, so as to appear before court.
