[2014] EWHC 176 (Admin)

Where defendants had been sentenced in the United Kingdom following their guilty pleas to conspiracy to defraud on a multi-national level, it was neither an abuse of process nor an infringement of the principle of double jeopardy for them to face extradition to the United States to face charges arising out of the same conspiracy. Although the two indictments had common features, they did not deal with the same transactions and were not founded on substantially the same facts.
