Extraterritoriality & Extradition

Partial

Active and passive extraterritoriality are recognized for SEC related offences in all instances under articles 12 and 13 of the Criminal Code with regards to Slovenian citizens (but not habitual residents). Double criminality is not required for extraterritoriality.

SEC related offences can be considered extraditable offences if they are punished with at least one year of imprisonment under Slovenian law (including most SEC related offences under the Criminal Code, potentially excluding some such as CSAM offences punished with less than one year of imprisonment) and fulfil the double criminality principle (article 522 of the Criminal Procedure Act). Slovenian citizens cannot be extradited under article 522(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act.

SEC offences are referred to as extraditable under the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) framework within the EU without requiring double criminality if the act is punishable by a maximum period of at least three years of imprisonment in the requesting State.
