So, as it stands, anybody named in an European Arrest Warrant will be liable to be arrested and transported forcibly abroad, by the order of a foreign prosecutor whether ot not there is ANY prima facie evidence of a crime having been committed. British judges would have to blindly obey. This is despite an admission, by an originator of the EAW, that this interpretation of the law is born out of a “mis-translation” from the original French. The UK side still seems not to have grasped that under continental procedures, arrest and imprisonment of a suspect is often the first step in an investigation.
