That would be the case if the American actor refuses to appear before British justice, where he is charged with an alleged crime of sexual assault
The British government is preparing a formal request that it will send to the United States in the near future to demand the extradition of actor Kevin Spacey, charged with an alleged crime of sexual assault. This was pointed out on Sunday by legal sources collected by the British newspaper ‘The Guardian’.
The process is triggered if the two Oscar winner actor does not agree to travel voluntarily to the UK to face trial, the same source explains. In that case, the Home Office’s International Crime Department would request his extradition so that he would be arrested in the United States and then handed over to the United Kingdom.
Kevin Spacey, 62, learned last Thursday that the British Public Prosecutor’s Office has cleared his charges for four crimes of assault against three men. They are believed to have been committed in London and Gloucestershire between 2005 and 2013, according to information gathered in the Scotland Yard investigation, Europa Press reports.
After apparently recovering from similar charges in the United States – the lawsuits were eventually filed – which separated him from the scene in 2017 – he was kicked out of the hit television series ‘House of Cards’ and has not been in a movie since. appeared. 2018-, the well-known artist planned to return to the film. Specifically, he would appear in an Italian film directed by the former Franco Nero and where he would play the role of a detective in a sort of cameo.
The extradition process could take months as the US Department of Justice must decide whether there is a “probable cause” for the crime. After that, an arrest warrant would be issued and legal proceedings would be initiated, which would in any case be open to appeal and would certainly limit the crimes of which he could be accused.
