And see: European Arrest Warrant: Greek students face extradition to Italy on Fascist-era "destruction and looting" charges

In early January a Greek court will decide whether or not to extradite to Italy five students who face charges including "destruction and looting" in relation to demonstrations against the Milan Expo in May 2015. It is believed to be the first time that European Arrest Warrants (EAWs) have been used to try to extradite protesters
