extradite

Hand over internationally

To extradite is to surrender a person accused or convicted of a crime to the jurisdiction where the offense occurred.

Governments extradite based on treaties and formal requests: The U.S. extradited the suspect to face trial in Mexico.

Countries sometimes refuse extradition on political grounds or when the accused might face the death penalty.
