    extradition /ĕk″strə-dĭsh′ən/ noun

    The surrender of an individual by one nation or state to another nation or state where that individual is sought for trial or punishment for the commission of a crime.

    The surrender or delivery of an alleged criminal by one State or sovereignty to another having jurisdiction to try charge.

    A formal process by which a criminal suspect held by one government is handed over to another government for trial or, if the suspect has already been tried and found guilty, to serve his or her sentence.

    This is not extradition.
