EXTRADITED Meaning and
Definition
-
Extradited refers to the process of transferring an individual accused or convicted of a crime from one jurisdiction to another, typically between different countries, in order to face trial or serve a sentence. This legal procedure is based on an extradition agreement or treaty between the involved jurisdictions. Extradition ensures that an individual who has committed a crime and fled to another country cannot evade justice or punishment by seeking refuge abroad.
When a person is extradited, they are typically arrested in the foreign country where they are located and held in custody until the extradition process is completed. The process involves a series of legal proceedings, including formal requests for extradition, where evidence of the individual's alleged criminal conduct is presented to the authorities of the country where they are seeking refuge.
Once the extradition request is approved through a legal and diplomatic process, the individual is then turned over to the requesting country. They are transported under the custody of law enforcement officials to face trial or serve their sentence. Extradition is usually granted for serious offenses such as murder, terrorism, drug trafficking, or other major crimes that warrant judicial action.
The purpose of extradition is to ensure that individuals who have committed crimes are held accountable for their actions, regardless of where they may have taken place. It serves as a means to uphold the principles of justice and maintain the integrity of the legal systems involved.

Etymology of EXTRADITED
The word "extradited" comes from the Latin term "extraditus", which is the past participle of the verb "extradere". "Extradere" is a combination of two Latin words: "ex", meaning "out", and "tradere", which means "to deliver" or "to hand over". The Latin roots suggest the act of handing over someone or something out of a specific place or jurisdiction. Over time, the term was adopted into English and came to be used specifically in legal contexts, referring to the action of surrendering or delivering a person accused or convicted of a crime to another jurisdiction for trial or punishment.
