TREATY OF EXTRADITION BETWEEN AUSTRALIA AND THE REPUBLIC OF ITALY

Australia and the Republic of Italy,

DESIRING to make more effective the co-operation of the two countries in the repression of crime,

HAVE AGREED as follows:

ARTICLE 1 OBLIGATION TO EXTRADITE Each Contracting Party agrees to extradite to the other, in accordance with the provisions of this Treaty, any persons who are wanted by the requesting Party for prosecution or the imposition or enforcement of a sentence for an extraditable offence.

ARTICLE 2 EXTRADITABLE OFFENCES 1. Extraditable offences are offences which, at the time of the request for extradition, are punishable under the laws of both Contracting Parties by imprisonment or other deprivation of liberty for a period of at least one year or by a more severe penalty. Where the request for extradition relates to a person convicted of such an offence who is wanted for the enforcement of a sentence of imprisonment or other deprivation of liberty, extradition shall be granted only if a period of at least six months of such penalty remains to be served.
