The number of persons extradited under Part 2 of the Extradition Act 2003 to face trial in another country in each year between 2019 and 2022 may be listed as follows:

Year

On Accusation Warrants

2019

23

2020

17

2021

17

2022

20

All figures are from local management information. As such they should be treated as provisional and subject to change.

The figures do not include Scotland, which deals with its own extradition cases. Only those surrendered on accusation warrants are included. The figures also do not include persons extradited to requesting states on the basis of a conviction warrant, as this assumes they will not be facing trial in the requested state on return.

Extraditions from the UK under Part 1 of the Extradition Act 2003 are handled by the National Crime Agency and statistics are published on their website:
