Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist Certification (CAMS) Practice Exam

What does an Extradition Treaty typically specify?

1. The types of financial crimes punishable by law

2. The persons subject to exchange and the conditions for extradition

3. The penalties for money laundering offenses

4. The timeline for legal proceedings

The correct answer is: The persons subject to exchange and the conditions for extradition

An Extradition Treaty typically specifies the persons subject to extradition and the conditions under which extradition can occur. This means that it outlines which individuals (such as suspects or convicted criminals) can be sent from one country to another for prosecution or to serve a sentence, as well as the legal criteria and procedures needed to facilitate that process. This is crucial for inter-country cooperation in law enforcement, as it defines how countries can assist each other in dealing with offenders who evade justice by crossing borders. While other options mention elements related to crime and punishment, they do not directly pertain to the core focus of extradition treaties. For instance, the types of financial crimes or specific penalties for money laundering relate to domestic laws rather than the international legal frameworks governing extradition. Similarly, timelines for legal proceedings are determined by each country’s legal system rather than stipulated in a treaty focused on extradition.
