If you commit a crime in another country...

[FleshLight]

and then recieve asylum in another, the country you commited the crime in can't touch you right?

 

[maddogchen]

not if the country you piss off is Russia and the crime you commit is terrorism. I bet they'll have ways of getting you

 

[Frenchie]

More than likely incorrect. You may have been cleared under the second countries laws, but that is irrelevant to the first country (barring them having a treaty providing to the contrary).

tea but you can never go back there or to any other conutry the extradites to that country

Depends on if those countries have extradition treaties with each other, and possibly some other factors that vary by country.

For instance, there was a guy who murdered a woman in the Philadelphia area and fled to France. He was convicted in absentia and sentenced to death, but France would not extradite him because of the death penalty (I think).

Edit: If you are given asylum, that means they will not extradite you. But being given asylum is not common and it is not the same thing as simply being allowed into the country.
