    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.
