摘要

After cracking down on white-collar crime at home, America is now in hot pursuit of executives abroad who, it thinks, have done wrong-and Britain seems happy to help. In what American officials call a "very important" test case that could have serious repercussions for other British executives, Ian Norris, a former boss of Morgan Crucible, a British engineering firm, is fighting American attempts to extradite him because of alleged price-fixing by two American subsidiaries. The application for extradition has been made under the hotly contested terms of a treaty between Britain and America. Signed after the September nth 2001 terrorist attacks and later incorporated into Britain's Extradition Act, which came into force in January 2004, its supposed aim was to facilitate the prosecution of international terrorists. But it is increasingly being used—by America at least—to pursue white-collar suspects in Britain.
