Three British bankers will be extradited Thursday to face Enron-related fraud charges in the United States, the men and their lawyer said Monday.
Mark Spragg, who represents the trio, said they were scheduled to depart Thursday morning.
Three British bankers are at the center of campaign by Britain's business community and opposition lawmakers to highlight what they say is the misuse of a treaty that was purportedly drawn up to bring terrorists to justice. It lessens the burden of proof in some extradition cases, allowing some countries to provide "information" rather than evidence that a crime has been committed. The trio will be extradited Thursday under the treaty -- not yet ratified by the U.S. -- to face Enron-related fraud charges.
