Court allows prosecution of extraditee for new crime if no deprivation of liberty measures are used.

The court permitted the prosecution and sentencing of a defendant previously extradited under the European Arrest Warrant for a new drug trafficking offense. The prosecution argued that the defendant committed multiple crimes involving amphetamine trafficking, while the defense contended that the principle of speciality prohibits imposing new penalties on extraditees. The court ruled that since the new proceedings do not involve pre-trial detention, the principle of speciality does not bar the prosecution, though future execution of a prison sentence would require the host state's consent.
