There is a due process to catch an ally's civilian, that's called an extradition, that process is important.

- bencollier49 9y agoThe parties involved probably judged correctly that if they attempted to extradite him, he would be the subject of a prolonged media campaign against the government in the UK to keep him here. What I don't understand is why the FBI didn't just hand the evidence to the NCA in the UK and have them arrest him.
