-v-
ANDRZEJ JACEK SZYSLER
His Honour Judge Grant
[1] This is an application by the Republic of Poland, as the Requesting
State, for the extradition of Andrzej Jacek Szysler, the Requested
Person. The Requesting State seeks the return of the Requested Person
on foot of a European Arrest Warrant based on the judgment of the
Circuit Court for the town of Gorzow Wielkobolski dated 7 March
2003. The court imposed a sentence of two years and six months
imprisonment on the defendant for certain drug offences. The
Requested Person had apparently served half of the sentence on
remand and there remains a period of one year and seven months
custody to be served. In short the offences are alleged to have been
committed between May 2000 and November 2000 and concern the
possession and supply of heroin which is a Class ‘A’ drug within this
jurisdiction.
[2] The chronology of events is as follows:
(i) 7 March 2003 the defendant was sentenced to two years and six
months imprisonment;
(ii) 16 October 2003 his sentence was affirmed on appeal;
(iii) 5 January 2004 the defendant was summonsed to appear and
surrendered to custody and serve his sentence;
(iv) Due to his failure to present on 9 January 2004 the court ordered
the defendant’s arrest and detention;
(v) On 9 February 2004 the Requested Person was granted a six
month extension until 9 August having filed an application to
defer the execution of the sentence;
(vi) On 17 August 2004 the Requested Person was granted a further
six months deferment until 17 February 2005;
