Possibility of extradition for failing to pay a loan
Hi,
A friend of mine took a half million Dirhams loan in 2016. He was fired 4 months later and he went to his home country (Center America).
Is there any chance for him to be extradited? In his country, could he be put in jail? Is there any expiration period?
Thanks

Hi,
The first consideration when it comes to extradition is whether there exists an extradition treaty between his country and the UAE.
Another factor to consider is the local laws of both states, whether they allow extradition for criminal or civil cases or for both.
As to the prescriptive/limitation period, it depends on the type of claim.
