[2011] EWHC 397 (Admin)

A Turkish national who had been prosecuted in Turkey for offences committed in Germany had received all by way of trial, conviction, sentence and punishment that the Turkish courts required of him. Although he had only spent a small part of the sentence in custody, he was entitled to rely on double jeopardy in proceedings brought by the German authorities seeking his extradition from the United Kingdom to face prosecution for the same offences.
