Issue: (1) Whether extradition to Germany to stand trial on offences for which A had already been sentenced in Turkey, albeit that an amnesty meant he would not have to serve any time in prison, was barred by double jeopardy; (2) whether the issue of this EAW constituted an abuse of process in that A had already been discharged from an identical prior warrant in 2006 on grounds of double jeopardy.
