Yes. Many extradition treaties permit surrender for offences committed outside the requesting state’s territory if the conduct has effects within that jurisdiction. This commonly arises in cybercrime, fraud, and money laundering cases where the alleged criminal conduct occurred remotely. The dual criminality requirement still applies — the conduct must constitute a crime in both states. Courts will examine whether the requesting state has legitimate jurisdictional grounds. Defending these cases often involves challenging the territorial reach of the foreign law and the sufficiency of evidence linking you to the alleged offence.
