China Man Busted along with Thai source

[LoneTree]

If the crime was not committed on US soil, any other country would not handover its own citizen to US.
But if someone smuggles illegal drugs to USA, it is violation of US law. Person can be indicted in USA, and extradited to USA from overseas. But only if there is an extradition treaty.
European union countries and Mexico do not extradite anyone charged with murder to USA unless death penalty is taken off the table. They have abolished death penalty.

True it sucks... but lets keep the facts strait. The entire investigation into steriods and clamping down on the pro's and BALCO started in 1997. During the Clinton Administration. Democrat or Republican... they will grasp onto what ever they can to seem like they are working in the publics interest... I believe in the article above they positioned it as saving our children. Good parenting saves our children... not a government that takes choicemaking out of your hands!

Good point, bro !!

 

[satchboogie]

first off, extradition for the 'crime' of exporting medicines is impossible!

i believe extradition must be justified by a violent crimes, or serious fraud.

That really sucks, I was just getting ready to order from him, j/k. That does suck, why waste all that time and money on traveling around the world. There are things in this country they need to fix first.

That's just lovely....there's a crack dealer on every second street corner in most major U.S. cities, but the priority is to go all the way to Thailand for a steroid source.

Props for that brotha!

Yikes, this one hits a little too close to home.

 

[_Yossarian_]

yeah that doesnt make sence, i mean why would feds go out to thialand to bust a source when the source has never set foot in the US...but lets not forget Panama and Noriega... but in that case Noriega was a big time drug smuggler.......where have our priorities gone?

yeah, lets not forget Ttokkyo either. DEA went way outside the US for that bust.

 

[poantrex]

i dont believe this article..
totally impossible for feds to bust in a foreign country.
what charges did they drop on him anyhow??

this spells bogus!

Exporting drugs is illegal in thailand.

I can't believe this, I remember Spartak Todorov from years ago. Not that I have dealt with him personally, but he was pretty well known. s73 ring a bell?

Smuggling is a violation of US law. There are also international accords signed between UN nations in regard to drug trafficing that is independent of extradiction treaties between nations. China and Thailand are both signatories to the UN convention on transnational organized crime. This allows for greater cooperation when dealing with organized crime, which entails three or more persons engaged in a continuing activity punishable by four or more years inprisonment.

"The United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime was adopted by the General Assembly at its Millennium meeting in November 2000. It will be opened for signature at a high-level conference in Palermo, Italy, in December 2000. It is the first legally binding UN instrument in the field of crime. It must be signed and ratified by 40 countries before it comes into force.

States party to the Convention would be required to establish in their domestic laws four criminal offences:

participation in an organized criminal group;
money laundering;
corruption; and
obstruction of justice.
The new instrument spells out how countries can improve cooperation on such matters as extradition, mutual legal assistance, transfer of proceedings and joint investigations. It contains provisions for victim and witness protection and shielding legal markets from infiltration by organized criminal groups. Parties to the treaty would also provide technical assistance to developing countries to help them take the necessary measures and upgrade their capacities for dealing with organized crime. "
