What defences are available against extradition for alleged money laundering?

Defendants facing extradition for money laundering can raise several grounds: insufficient evidence establishing a prima facie case, the political offence exception where underlying predicate crimes are politically motivated, risk of human rights violations including inhumane detention conditions, and procedural bars such as expired limitation periods. Courts also scrutinise whether the requesting state can demonstrate the defendant knew funds derived from criminal activity. In certain jurisdictions, defendants may argue that extradition would be unjust or oppressive due to passage of time, poor health, or the availability of prosecution in the requested state instead.
