Does a finding of extraditability leave appellant vulnerable to being charged with any crime with which the Canadian authorities may choose to charge him?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Melia v. U.S., 667 F.2d 300 (2nd Cir. 1981):
2 A finding of extraditability does not leave appellant vulnerable to being charged with any crime with which the Canadian authorities may choose to charge him. Rather, the principle of specialty is applicable: appellant can be charged only with those crimes for which he was extradited specifically. Shapiro v. Ferrandina, 478 F.2d 894, 905 (2 Cir.), cert. dismissed, 414 U.S. 884 (1973).
