"The Advocate General gave his opinion last week. He said that the execution of a European arrest warrant must be postponed where the competent judicial authority finds not only that there is a real risk of flagrant denial of justice on account of deficiencies in the system of justice of the issuing Member State, but also that the person who is the subject of the warrant is exposed to the risk."

They didn't come to that conclusion in the Garry Mann case, when the Portuguese were able to execute a warrant against a man everyone knew was innocent.

But Mann was British and therefore untermensch to the EU.
