Rare extradition to Canada approved by UK

The UK has approved the extradition of a 71-year-old man so he can face fraud and theft charges in British Columbia, the UK reported on Sunday. Vancouver Sun..

The UK Home Office’s decision was approved after Peter Kevin Miller’s hearing in court in South Cumbria, north-west England, last October, the daily said.

Peter Kevin Miller appealed the decision on Friday, a request he was denied by the United Kingdom.

Canada had made the extradition request on behalf of the British Columbia Prosecution Service, in order for the accused to appear on charges of investment fraud allegedly held in the Vancouver area from 2010 to 2013 .

Following a police investigation, nearly 13 cases of fraud over $ 5,000 had been filed on January 30, 2017, the media said.

According to several experts interviewed by the Vancouver Sun., asking for extradition for a financial crime would be a rather unusual procedure in Canada.

It would also be one of the few extradition cases known to the British government in recent years, the English daily revealed. The Westmorland Gazette.
