CASE STUDY

Congressman Peter Genuino, a Filipino citizen, has been accused of tax evasion and investigated
for dealing prohibited drugs in the United States of America. He is currently residing in the
Philippines so that he can pursue his alleged illegal business and his seat in congress as a
convenient cover. In this regard, the United States government requested for the extradition of
Congressman Genuino from the Philippine government so he will be investigated under U.S.
jurisdiction. Pending the evaluation of his extradition, Congressman Genuino demanded for his
extradition papers from the U.S. government through the Philippine government so that he can
already file his opposition in the Philippine courts without the need of being extradited to the
U.S. The Philippine government, with the concurrence of the American government, refused to
provide Congressman Genuino with the extradition papers. In this situation, is Congressman
Genuino already deprived of his right to "due process"?

Answer:

Congressman Genuino's right to due process has not been violated since the two countries reached
an understanding or agreed not to supply him with the extradition papers. The US government
has the right to seek extradition because his case involves tax evasion and dealing illegal drugs
in the United States, which is a serious crime. Despite the fact that he is a Filipino citizen, the
case took place outside of the Philippines, and the court agreed that both countries had the right
to determine where to investigate. In order to stop his alleged illegal business and his seat in
congress, the Philippine and American government have the right to refuse to provide Congressman
Genuino with the extradition paper.
