Justice Minister hopes US midterm elections will ease extradition of former right-wing politician
Published
Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek believes that the Republican Party's defeat in the American midterm elections may improve the chances of extraditing his predecessor in the ministerial post. The minister's predecessor is a right-wing politician. The information was reported by Polish Radio.
The midterm elections in the United States take place in the middle of the president's term. In these elections, members of Congress are chosen, namely the House of Representatives and a portion of the senators. Their results show which party has greater influence in US politics.
Extradition is the transfer of a person pursued by the justice system of one state to another state that is prosecuting them or wants to try them. Such a procedure usually requires the consent of the authorities of both countries and is based on international law and agreements between states. For this reason, political changes in one of these countries may affect the course of the entire process.
Minister Żurek did not provide, in the available information, any details regarding the timeline or next steps in this matter. It is only known that the minister is pinning hopes for a faster resolution on the outcome of the elections in the United States. The case will continue to be followed by the media in Poland.
