Some Italian guy posted a discriminatory video on Youtube Italy, four top Google Executives now have arrest warrants in Italy, and cannot be anywhere in the EU (due to reciprocal extradition treaties). The Head of Google Video Europe moved to Google UK to head Consumer Marketing in consequence, cannot travel anywhere within the EU at this time, and who knows for how much longer?

- ciupicri 17y agoUK is a member of the EU.
- electromagnetic 17y agoFor the UK it depends whether the warrant was EU-wide or just Italian. If it was Italian, they can get anyone in mainland Europe very easily. However, IIRC, this is due to the Schengen area and the lack of borders. As the UK kind of has a border issue, being an island and all, it's hard to apply the Schengen laws.
