Can India Extradite a US Citizen for violating webpage and internet data consumption/viewing related crimes defined in India and convict them and get some fraction of that billion dollars?
Could the Taliban do the same thing if some Americans were found guilty of educating women against sharia law and be executed?
How much do I need to be researching internet crimes defined by other countries so I don't get targeted by predators from other ecosystems?
- Paul12345534 13y agoFrom Popehat: First, if OMICS gets a civil judgment against him from India, they won't be able to enforce it here. The SPEECH Act prohibits any federal or state court in the United States from recognizing or enforcing a foreign judgment for defamation unless (1) the judgment creditor can prove that the foreign court offers equivalent protections for free speech as the defendant would have enjoyed in United States courts under the First Amendment, or (2) the judgment creditor can prove he or she would have prevailed even under the stricter standards in the United States. Second, if OMICS seeks criminal charges against Mr. Beall in India, they won't be able to extradite him there. Like most extradition treaties, the treaty between the United States and India requires dual criminality — that is, that the offense is a crime in both countries. Hurting fee-fees isn't a crime in the United States. Moreover, under these circumstances, the chance that the U.S. Departments of State or Justice would cooperate with extradition requests is effectively zero.
