[2008] UKHL 51

The Italian court had properly sought the extradition of an individual as an accused person, rather than a convicted person, even though he had been convicted and sentenced for drugs offences in Italy. His appeal against conviction and sentence was outstanding, and under Italian law neither the judgment nor sentence was final or enforceable until the criminal appeal process had been concluded.
