[2009] EWHC 150 (Admin)

A judge was correct to conclude that offences of tax evasion under US law were, in the circumstances, extradition offences for the purposes of the Extradition Act 2003 s.137(2)(b) on the basis that the evader's alleged conduct was, if proven, dishonest, so that he would be guilty of comparable English offences of tax evasion.
