The Embassy of Great Britain in Paris presented, in the name of the Governor of the Colony of
Hong Kong, in November 1986, a request for extradition relating to facts presented under twenty-
seven counts of indictment.
This request for extradition was the subject of a negative advice of the Court of Appeal of Paris,
dated 4th November 1987.
Despite such negative advice, the Dritish government thought it possible to present a new request
for extradition relating to the same facts, with a different legal characterisation and presented,
in this second request, under thirty-three counts of indictment.
Mr Rais Bin Saniman, who lived in Paris at the time of the request for extradition of 1986 having
resulted in the negative advice of the Chambre d'Accusarion of Paris of 4th November 1987, had
moved to Saint-Garmain, so that the new request for extradition was brought to the Cumbre
d'Accusation of Versailles.
Mr Rais Bin Saniman, arrested on 11th June 1990 at his domicile, was freed under judicial
control by a decision of the Court of Appeal of Versailles dated 26th June 1990.

officially notified by the Governor of Hong Kong in support of the requests for the extradition
