A big misconception that the author and others have is that if two countries don't have an extradition treaty it means that you won't be extradited.
It doesn't work like that. All it means it that instead of you being more or less automatically extradited now a negotiation process starts between the two countries. Put another way: extradition is manual instead of automatic.
Plenty of people were extradited from "no extradition treaty" to US.
> One very important takeaway from this article should be that just because a country does not have a formal extradition agreement with the United States, does not mean that the country will not extradite you.
Yeah, same as the British monarchy after the murder of Charles 2. Or James 2. But they tracked down the killers all the way to America, or so they say. Same with Stalin getting Trotsky in Mexico.
But there's others who never were captured, Hannibal evaded Rome until they almost captured him, but he successfully killed himself so they never got him alive. There's many others on both sides.
They didn't have to look far for the murderers of Charles 2 - very probably the treatment his doctors gave him for his ailments were the proximate cause of his death.
