Court says Sanader may be extradited in next 14 days

Autor: mses
SALZBURG, July 11 (Hina) - The provincial court in Salzburg on Monday received documentation with Austrian Justice Minister Beatrix Karl's greenlight to the extradition of former Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader to Croatia, after which Croatia's authorities should determine details on his transfer back to Zagreb, the court's spokesman Imre Juhasz was quoted by the APA news agency as saying on Monday.

I assume that extradition could happen within 14 days, and it can happen relatively fast, the spokesman said.

There is also a possibility for the organisation of Sanader's transfer back to Croatia together with a 36-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman, who were arrested in Carinthia while smuggling 105 kilogrammes of cocaine on 12 April and who consented to fast-track procedure just as Sanader.

Pursuant to the Austrian extradition rules, the country-destination of extradited people should organise technical prerequisites for transfer, Juhasz said.

The administration of the Salzburg prison where Sanader has been kept in detention since mid-December 2010, assumes that the former Croatian premier will be first transfer from Salzburg to the Vienna-Josefstadt penitentiary and after that flown on a regular flight from Vienna to Croatia.

There is also a possibility for transferring Sanader from Salzburg on a regular direct flight to Zagreb. The Croatian USKOK anti-corruption investigating agency has launched several investigations into the former premier on suspicion of his involvement in graft and other white-collar crimes. However, no indictment has yet been issued.
