Argentina's modern US extradition relationship runs through the 1997 bilateral treaty - and nationality is NOT a refusal ground. Argentine citizenship will not stop a qualifying surrender by itself, no matter what relatives insist. Federal courts and Supreme Court practice still test dual criminality, constitutional rights, and documentation, often after Interpol red notices scramble family life in Buenos Aires. Fraud, laundering, and corruption packages aimed at SDNY and southern districts dominate many files. Spodek Law Group P.C. fights the Argentine record while preparing those American dockets before anyone treats a red notice as automatic self-surrender. Risk-free consultation. Call 212 300 5196.
1997 treaty - nationality will not end the case.
The 1997 US-Argentina extradition treaty closed the citizenship comfort many families still expect. Nationality is not a stand-alone refusal ground. Clients lose months believing otherwise. Dual criminality, specialty, political-offense boundaries where applicable, and constitutional due process are the fights that remain. We start by retiring passport myths, then litigating what the 1997 text actually allows.
Federal courts and Corte Suprema craft the legal record.
Argentine extradition is a judicial record first - federal courts build the file, with Corte Suprema review historically shaping high-stakes outcomes - then executive action. Treating Argentina like a diplomatic courier misses where defenses actually live. Dual criminality, specialty, and human-rights arguments belong in that record early. Spodek Law Group P.C. coordinates Buenos Aires counsel to make the file useful while our US team attacks the indictment that produced the request. We owe loyalty to only YOU.
Red notices often arrive before formal treaty papers feel real.
Financial and corruption cases frequently begin with Interpol diffusion that produces stops, freezes, or detention anxiety. A red notice is not a final Argentine surrender order. Talking to clear your name without counsel is how notice cases become confession cases. Silence plus coordinated Argentine and US lawyers is the default.
Fraud, laundering, and corruption packages into US financial districts.
US requests from Argentina often target fraud, money laundering, and corruption-linked financial schemes aimed at New York and other financial districts. Wire-fraud creativity and inflated conspiracy nets are common. Dual criminality still has to match Argentine criminal law. We challenge documentary quality and charging breadth in Argentina while preparing motions and negotiation posture for the American court. Regardless of how complicated the banking trail looks, we can help you get the outcome you need.
Waiver in Buenos Aires skips the judicial approval US prosecutors dislike.
Prosecutors dislike Argentine judicial friction because it creates time and a record. A waiver removes both. Agents will call it practical. It is often just surrender without leverage. Sometimes a sequenced return is rational - after written comparison of pros and cons. Often it permanently weakens you. Talk before you sign. Risk-free consultation with Spodek Law Group P.C.
