An accused criminal who flees to another country for asylum must *agree* to be extradited? What can be said about a law this inane? What accused criminal, when faced with the choice of being set free, or being extradited to stand trial, will choose extradition??
It's entirely possible Germany just opened the welcome wagon to all German-born criminals - most especially those sharing jihadist anti-semitic views. They have only to commit crimes in other countries and return to their homeland and freedom.
