Brussels-A convention signed here yesterday should mean that the 26 Britons wanted in Belgium in connection with the Hansel football riot would be allowed to serve jail sentences in Britain if they are convicted here, David Usborne writes. The accord, signed by 10 states, including Britain and Belgium, guarantees that people convicted in an EC state other than their own will have the right to serve the sentence in their home country. The Belgian Justice Minister confirmed that the convention would apply to the wanted Britons if they are finally tried. “There would be no problem if these people wanted to do their term in the UK”, he said. A similar convention on the transfer of convicts already exists in the 21-member Council of Europe, but has never been ratified by Belgium. Belgian efforts to extradite the 26 Britons suffered a serious set- back three months ago when the case failed in the High Court because of a legal technicality. Proceedings have now been resumed. 4. The trial in Belgium of 26 British football fans on charges aris- ing out of the Hansel Stadium disaster will open in Brussels today, and be adjourned until the autumn. Belgian defence lawyers will appeal for a suspension because they have not had sufficient access to evidence. жүктеу/скачать 1,02 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
