Schreiber loses last-ditch fight against extradition

Article



German-Canadian businessman Karlheinz Schreiber was being flown to Germany on Sunday evening after losing a last-ditch battle to avoid extradition earlier in the day.

Schreiber's lawyer, Eddie Greenspan, was granted permission for a special weekend court appearance to seek an injunction against the federal government's extradition order. He argued that his client should be allowed to stay in his adopted country — where he has been a citizen since 1982 — until at least Tuesday morning so he can file an appeal challenging Canada's extradition treaty with Germany.

But the lawyer for the government told the Ontario Court of Appeal that this was a frivolous challenge because the treaty was ratified 30 years ago.


And good riddence. It took them ten years to get rid of you ?


In the letter, addressed to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Schreiber said he was concerned the visit was timed in a way to preempt any legal moves on his part duringt the holiday weekend.


You wrote a letter begging the prime minister not to give you the boot after you spent a freaking year slinging mud at him and trying to get him in as much trouble as you possibly could ? Even to the point of telling out right lies ?

You're an idiot.

And you're gone.


Extradition politically motivated: Schreiber

He also alleged in the letter that Germany's centre-left Social Democrats are using his case as an election issue in a bid to defeat their conservative opponents in next month's election


You spent a year slinging mud at the prime minister. No kidding it's politically motivated. You need to be more careful who you sling mud at.


"Now we have the election coming up in Germany in September, and the Social Democrats won three elections with my case in the past," Schreiber told reporters Sunday just before entering the detention centre. "If I would [return] now that would be the greatest thing. They would start another huge circus and huge investigation...


Lets not forget the part where you are GUILTY AS CHARGED OF ALL CRIMES , shall we ? No ones fabricating evidence and you've actually given up making such accusations.

Your a crook . You've beaten the system for ten long years, you have nothing new to say in your defence, and your only real argument is that you didn't mean for your words to be taken as a confession when you were slinging mud at the prime minister and admitting to all those crimes , you just wanted to dirty him up some , not get yourself in hot water.

Good bye.

Oh , and when I say he's slinging mud at the prime minister I mean this is a Liberal Political exercise, this guy is happy to tell any lie and cannot be used as a witness against Mulroony in court (former prime minister) due to all the crimes he's guilty of , but eh is good for manufacturing a nice long make believe scam against the conservatives and our current prime minister. Thus yes, technically he's throwing mud at Mulroony , but really , they're throwing mud at Harper.
