Denmark’s Ministry of Justice has confirmed that it has signed an extradition treaty with the United Arab Emirates.
Further to the article posted on SFT on Tuesday 15 March, Denmark’s Justice Minister Nick Hækkerup yesterday signed the treaty with his Emirati counterparties.
The Danish government believes this will, among other benefits, allow it to apply for the extradition of persons accused of tax fraud through cum-ex schemes.
The treaty was signed in the Abu Dhabi Ministry of Justice with Emirati Minister of Justice Abdullah Sultan Saif bin Awad Al Nuaimi.
Nick Nick Hækkerup, the Danish Minister of Justice says: "Today we have signed an agreement which hopefully means that we can go a step further in two specific criminal cases, each of which in their own way has had far-reaching consequences.
“With the agreement, we signal to suspected perpetrators that it is useless to try to hide under warmer skies to avoid being prosecuted and held accountable for their actions. I hope that the agreement will contribute to us getting the suspected perpetrators to Denmark ”.
