Amid Controversy, Another Brit Businessman Extradited Under Anti-Terror Treaty
Amid Controversy, Another Brit Businessman Extradited Under Anti-Terror Treaty
The recent extradition and pending trial of the NatWest three in Texas brought significant attention to an agreement recently signed between the U.S. and U.K. governments. The purpose of the treaty is, ostensibly, to speed the transfer of terror suspects between the two nations, thus its employ in pursuit of white collar criminals has been somewhat controversial.
Another British businessman has joined the list of those extradited to the U.S. to face charges in U.S. courts, the unfortunately named Jeremy Crook. Crook is a former V.P. with Peregrine Systems, which imploded in a major fraud scandal backin 2001. Crook has reported to San Diegofor the Peregrine fraud trial and his ultimate fate is as yet unknown.
