Yes, many white-collar offences carry extended statutes of limitation—often 10 to 15 years or longer depending on the requesting country and the severity of the alleged conduct. Fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering charges frequently surface years after the alleged acts due to lengthy financial investigations.

A successful challenge requires demonstrating that prosecution is time-barred or that the notice constitutes an abuse of process.
