Ibime: Christensen sleeping for that second goal again. He has to be up for transfer with Rudiger this summer.
All we can do now is wait for CAS decision on Monday or fight with Leicester for fourth.
We are not keeping up with Manure at all. Rumor has it that Man City’s ban will be overturned. |

tundchip2: That may work. But they'll still find a charge on his numerous offences to dock him there. Then he might also be sentenced there and extradited to St Kitts Or Dubai for the jail term and later get extradited to Nigeria after finishing his sentence.  |
Politics › Legal Basis For The Fbi’s Arrest Of Hushpupi by PDPGuy(op): 9:20am On Jul 11, 2020 |
Hushpupi’s attorney’s argument that the arrest of his client by the FBI was not proper due to the fact that he is a Nigerian citizen, may easily be thrown out by the court. United States case law, as enunciated by the US Supreme Court gives federal prosecutors a lot of leeway in arresting and prosecuting defendants who resided in countries that do not have a subsisting extradition treaty with the United States. Below is the explanation and relevant case law that supports my postulation, which is straight from the US Department of Justice: “ If the fugitive is not a national or lawful resident of the country in which he or she is located, the Criminal Division’s Office of International Affairs (OIA), through the Department of State or other channels, may ask that country to deport, expel, or otherwise effectuate the lawful return of the fugitive to the United States.
In United States v. Alvarez-Machain, 504 U.S. 655 (1992), the Supreme Court held that a court has jurisdiction to try a criminal defendant even if the defendant was abducted from a foreign country against his or her will by United States agents. Though this decision reaffirmed the long-standing proposition that personal jurisdiction is not affected by claims of abuse in the process by which the defendant is brought before the court, see Ker v. Illinois, 119 U.S. 436 (1886); Frisbie v. Collins, 342 U.S. 519 (1952), it sparked concerns about potential violations of foreign sovereignty, territorial integrity, and criminal law.
Due to the sensitivity of abducting defendants from a foreign country, prosecutors may not take steps to secure custody over persons outside the United States (by government agents or the use of private persons, like bounty hunters or private investigators) by means of Alvarez-Machain type returns without advance approval by the Department of Justice. Prosecutors must consult with OIA before they undertake any such operation. If a prosecutor anticipates that a defendant may raise a claim that his return was illegal, the prosecutor must consult with OIA before such return.
Fugitives deported to the United States or otherwise legally returned without a formal order of extradition may claim that they were returned illegally to the United States. The courts generally dispose of those arguments under the Ker-Frisbie doctrine.”
It could be argued that the US asked the UAE to effectuate Hushpupi’s return to the US through the handover of Hushpupi by the Dubai police to the FBI.
The Frisbie Doctrine refers to a principle applied in the context of extradition and generally holds that criminal defendants may be prosecuted in U.S. courts regardless of whether their presence has been obtained through the use of applicable extradition treaties. The principle was developed through two cases.
1. Ker v. Illinois, 119 U.S. 436 (U.S. 1886), the U.S. Supreme Court held that "such forcible abduction is no sufficient reason why the party should not answer when brought within the jurisdiction of the court which has the right to try him for such an offence, and presents no valid objection to his trial in such court”.
2. Frisbie v. Collins, 342 U.S. 519 (U.S. 1952), the Supreme Court upheld the conviction over challenges based on due process and federal kidnapping laws. https://www.justice.gov/jm/jm-9-15000-international-extradition-and-related-matters#9-15.600 |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Manchester City To Learn Result Of Appeal To CAS Over European Ban On Monday by PDPGuy(op): 9:02pm On Jul 10, 2020 |
Manchester City will learn on Monday whether their appeal against a two-year ban from European club competitions has been successful.
City appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) after Uefa's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) issued the ban in February.
The CFCB ruled the club had committed "serious breaches" of Uefa's Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations between 2012 and 2016. They were also fined 30m euros (£25m).
City immediately signalled their intention to appeal to Cas. They believe the CFCB was not independent and ended up being distrustful of it, partly due to the amount of secretive information the club felt was leaked to the media.
They are adamant that what they consider an independent judiciary will clear them. "We are ready," said manager Pep Guardiola on Friday. I have a lot of confidence and trust with the people that we will be allowed to play the Champions League because we want to be on the field during these years."
Their appeal began in June and has been heard by three Cas lawyers in private video conferences.
Unless the club are successful, they will not be able to participate in Europe's flagship competition next season and will be prevented from playing in the annual Uefa Super Cup if they win this season's delayed Champions League. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/53367751 |

InvertedHammer: / Not Federal case.
El Chappo Guzman and most drug lords were great philanthropists. When sentenced, they were locked and keys thrown into the ocean.
Only 2% of Federal cases go to trial. Most of them plead guilty when they see the evidence against them. Of those who went to trial, about 75% are convicted and 99% of them sentenced. The odds are highly against Hush. The only thing the lawyer can do is milk the hell out of him and get him a good deal(reduced charges and sentences).
I expect Hush to get 5-10 years only.
/ Going by his attorney’s statement, they are going to trial; hence there will be no plea bargain. Also, the US Attorney’s office is pushing for 20 years imprisonment. The court will most likely grant the prosecution’s wish as is the standard practice if a guilty verdict is returned. |

Travel › Re: FAAN Increases Passengers’ Service Charge From N1000 To N2000 by PDPGuy: 7:34am On Jun 27, 2020 |
hardbody: Whatever the argument, it is still safer to fly than to go by road. Meanwhile it will amount to some warped reasoning to expect that tickets will remain same if the passengers will have to be reduced to accommodate social distancing inside the air crafts. The airlines are in business to break even and make some profit.
Oga I did not know it is you again. I am not trolling you ooo. In the end, I don’t believe the NCAA will sustain its mandate to airlines to leave some seats blocked. After all, in the US and other Western countries there are no mandates for airlines to block a number of seats. |
