Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

On this matter, I still think that Germany thwarted due processes by blocking the extradition.

With the CIA assassination considered in 2004, the possible extradiction blocked by Germany was that to the USA. Given that the USA has the death penalty, that blocking would be mandatory, too.

The extradition request was made by Spain.

I have no problem with blocking an extradition request made by a country where the defendant would be facing the death penalty.

The extradiction to Spain was blocked in late November 2004. The EAW itself was implemented only in August 2004.

The article doesn't say when the Darkazanli assassination attempt was, but it was before Prado left the CIA for Blackwater, also in 2004. I doubt you can fit the decision for, preparation and execution of the assassination attempt and Prado moving to Blackwater in the 40 last days of 2004.
