What is the European Arrest Warrant (EAW)?
The European Arrest Warrant (EAW) is a judicial cooperation tool introduced by Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA of the Council of the European Union and implemented in Italy by Law No. 69/2005. This mechanism simplifies and speeds up the extradition procedure between EU member states, based on mutual recognition of judicial decisions.
The EAW applies to:
- The execution of a custodial sentence or a security measure: when a person convicted by a final judgment must serve the sentence in another member state.
- The conduct of a criminal trial: when a person accused of a crime must be transferred to the issuing member state to face the proceedings.
Crimes Subject to the European Arrest Warrant
The EAW applies to a wide range of serious crimes, including:
- Terorrism.
- Drug trafficking.
- Corruption and fraud.
- Cybercrime.
- Human trafficking.
Conditions for the Application of the EAW
To execute an EAW, certain requirements must be met:
- Double criminality: The crime must be recognized as such in both the issuing state and the executing state, unless exceptions apply.
- Fundamental rights: The person subject to the EAW must have their rights guaranteed, including adequate defense and a fair trial.
- Proportionality: The warrant must concern crimes of a certain severity, with penalties exceeding a minimum threshold of 12 months.
