The case has an unusual international element in that T is alleged to have committed the offences alleged from outside the USA whilst residing in Africa. T will be contesting the extradition request.

This is the fourth US extradition case that BSQ partner Roger Sahota has been instructed in, including the case of Sanchez-Sanchez which was heard by the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights in November 2022.
