Prosecutors furious at British reluctance to extradite

If Miroslaw D., one of the persons behind a smuggling route from South America to Poland, has taken refuge in the UK, and he can feel safe. "The British side is asking questions that cannot be answered," Anna Adamiak-Derendarz of the Polish National Prosecutor said. Due to this, British SOCA refused to extradite the criminal. Out of 77 requests from Poland submitted over the past six months, the British have replied to only 11 cases and not all of them were positive. Even if there are replies, "In a majority of case they make no-sense at all, as it would be enough to read the warrant," said Rajmund Hajneta of the Warsaw District Court. (Gazeta Wyborcza, pp. 1, 7)
