Active extraterritorial jurisdiction is not provided for crimes committed outside East Timor by Timorese. However, extraterritorial jurisdiction is provided over some listed crimes committed outside East Timor if the perpetrator is found in East Timorese territory and cannot be extradited or their extradition is denied. Some SEC related crimes are included (Articles 175 to 178 of the Criminal Code). Passive extraterritorial jurisdiction is provided for crimes committed outside East Timor against Timorese if the perpetrator habitually resides in East Timor and is found in East Timorese territory or if the agent is found in East Timor, the facts are also punishable by the legislation of the place where the crime was committed and constitute a crime that admits extradition that cannot be granted. Universal jurisdiction is provided over certain crimes but SEC related crimes are not included.
There is no specific provision on the extradition of SEC related offences and the principle of double criminality is required for proceeding with extraditions. Timorese nationals cannot be extradited.
