Crown Office & Procurator Fiscal Service processes requests for individuals believed
to be in Scotland.</li><li>The National Crime Agency processes extradition requests
from EU Member States under Part 1 of the Extradition Act 2003 and data relating to
these requests is published annually on the NCA website.</li></ul><p>Thus, the arrest

a request has been sent. If extradition is to proceed, after the legal process has
concluded, and extradition is to proceed, the individual will be extradited to the
territory which made the request. As such, the question has been interpreted to reflect
