Justin[/quote] How does your lawyer think you can find it out from S-A if he cannot? It seems to me that he is not interested in the case. (the fact that you don't want to pay for your airline ticket, which is probably cheaper than his fee, might have something to do with it)[/quote] He wrote a lett...

Dear All, I contacted a Finnish lawyer regarding my red notice, but he needs to know which court issued the arrest warrant which is precondition of red notice and who the prosecutor is before he can help me. How can I find out the information? I am detained in South Africa for four month, I am on pr...

Your story is like leaking boat and I’m sorry but I think you are not being straight with forumites. What surprises me most is why are you wasting your time repeatedly here as apparently all the advice there is to give has been passed to you. If you are in real trouble contact these people instead:...

Wow. This is so easy. You don't pay for travel costs of the Finnish police = you save money = you won't end up in Finland for trial = perfect! Seriously, poor Finnish police would come and get you if you agreed to pay their tickets. Would they take the opportunity to bring their families too so they...

n.b. Having access to internet is not something I would expect in a S-African prison. :twisted: Many things in your story sound weird.[/quote] I am on probation, I paid 2000 Euros for that in South Africa. They took away my passport and refused to let me leave, but Finland does not want me to transf...

I am not willing to give real ID information over the internet, i am asking for help by telling the story, it do not matter which nationality I have, but i am Asian. So i wonder how the extradition works if two countries do not have extradition treaty and Finland does not want to cover the cost? Sou...

The Japanese embassy should be able to give you all necessary information and establish legal consultation for you, are you in contact with them? My own embassy has no information regarding my case, they never met this kind of case before. Asian guy in Africa with red notice , planning to transfere...

Have you tried contacting the Finnish Embassy there yourself? Finland has no extradition treaty with South Africa, that is what I was told from Finnish embassy. But South Africa foreign affairs saying South Africa is memeber of interpol country, so I will be transfered to Finland, however Finland d...

Dear All, I am with Japanese citizenship, I had a court case against me (for stealing 20000 cash in a shop,which I did not) in Finland a few years ago, now I have been caught in South Africa travelling here. now I have been detained here for four months now, even went to detaintion room for 8 days. ...

How does statute of limitations work? If time runs out for 5 years, this case will automatically closed? Do not expect that the international arrest warrant will disappear. Although Finland might not prosecute you after this period, police in other countries will not automatically be brought up to ...

After I come back for the case, I have to cover all the food, accommodation and cost? yes It's not black and white. Everyone including suspects of crime fall under the social security protection guaranteed by the constitution. However, since this purpose does not mean permanent residence, it would ...

Hi, 3 years ago, the Finnish police issued the red notice for my arrest on Interpol system. Now I am arrested in Africa while traveling here. But there is no extradition agreement between Africa and Finland. What should I do to delete the interpol red notice? If Finnish police do not want to cover ...

I (and most of us here) work our ass off and pay our fair tax share, nothing but for a peaceful life. I try to be helpful and friendly towards others, but when I read this I got pissed off ( normally when I see people evade taxes / launder money in tens of thousands of euros). I am really proud of ...

You have to deal with the Finnish police yourself. The arrest warrant will not go away until the matter is settled. In the eyes of the police you are a wanted criminal already 3 years on the run. Until you deal with it, every time you show your passport at a border you might get arrested. And a phon...
