Individuals in foreign countries who are under investigation in the United States sometimes avoid travelling here, and once charged often fight extradition. These choices may make legal sense for individuals located in countries that have no extradition treaty with the United States. They may also make sense for foreign nationals located in their home country if that country has a policy, as many do, against extraditing its own citizens.
Individuals whose circumstances may result in extradition to the United States must carefully consider whether they should fight extradition. Fighting extradition may simply become a waste of time and money and have serious unintended consequences. Individuals who resist extradition may even come to regret their decisions.
