|- ! bgcolor="6699FF" | Case opinions |- | |} ''United States v Cotroni'' () 1 S.C.R. 1469 was a decision by the Supreme Court of Canada on extradition and freedom of movement under section 6 of the ''Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms''. The Court found extradition violates section 6 but is a justified infringement under section 1 of the ''Charter''. The case was decided with ''United States v El Zein''. ==Background== The case involved Frank Santo Cotroni, a Canadian citizen who was accused of planning to sell heroin in the United States. He was arrested in Canada and plans were made to extradite him. Cotroni resisted the extradition on the grounds that it was in violation of section 6(1) of the ''Charter'', which grants Canadian citizens the right to stay in Canada. He won his case in the Quebec Court of Appeal, who argued that it was possible to try Cotroni in Canada, where the crime was centred. The second respondent in the case was Samir El Zein, also a Canadian citizen, who gave heroin to two people in Canada who were then caught trying to cross the border with it. El Zein was arrested and the US requested he be extradited. El Zein also won his case in the Court of Appeal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United States v Cotroni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
