This is a normal post really dont know much about the extradition process or Swedish law
My feeling is, a long-standing liberal democracy and ally has asked for his extradition to try him for something that is illegal here, that should be the end of it. You've got to trust them to run their own legal system havent you?

This is a normal post Actually, they didn't want to try him, just interview him.
Had he stayed in Sweden they wouldn't have been able to arrest him on that basis.

What they did was issue a European Arrest Warrant after he left, which you can issue with far less evidence, and the receiving country isn't allowed to question it, and it lets you incarcerate the subject when you do get him back. So you get to defer it to the receiving country to actually make the arrest even when you don't have grounds yourself.

Same shit the Amsterdam police pulled on that game show guy who claimed he punched a homeless man into a canal. Boy do they have egg on their face now ;)

This is a normal post friendly countries being able to bring suspects in for questioning across borders seems fair I reckon
Again, it hinges on trust. Do we trust Sweden to treat him fairly. I do

This is a normal post Yes, but when the system to do so can be invoked on weaker grounds than your own arrest procedures
Then it's widely open to abuse.

And it's being abused a lot, for example in petty little arguments over trespass on property near to borders, where there would be insufficient grounds to arrest someone in-country, but as soon as they go back across the border a prosecutor (i.e not even a judge) can sign a bit of paper than forces the other country's police to then make an arrest.

And you trust a prosecutor who has openly stated that she believes all men are partly responsible for sexual abuse cases and thus should, by law, be forced to pay a subsidy to compensate victims?
