German law prohibits the extradition of German nationals in most circumstances. However, EU citizens resident in Germany and nationals of other countries can be extradited under the TCA framework.

The UK left the EU Arrest Warrant system. Extradition between Germany and the UK now operates under the TCA, which has longer timelines, fewer listed offences, and greater procedural safeguards for the person sought.

An Interpol Red Notice can lead to provisional arrest in Germany. Our team can challenge both the Red Notice at the CCF and any extradition proceedings simultaneously.

A contested case typically takes 12–24 months including appeals. Emergency applications can stay extradition during the appeal process.
