Reading up on the law on extradition, I came across this tale of woe:
[Victor Manuel Tafur-Dominguez] has recovered from a near-fatal plane crash in 1999 in Colombia while
working for that government's anticocaine program. After moving to the
United States to recuperate at his mother's home near Philadelphia, he
was jailed in 2000 on accusations by Colombia that he played a role in
the largest cocaine shipment ever seized in that country. He
successfully challenged Colombia's extradition request based on a
treaty written two decades ago by his father, who was subsequently
assassinated, a crime that was never solved.
Whoa.
