The twin impact of Brexit and the pandemic is seeing fewer international criminals extradited, with numbers being brought to the UK to face justice are also down
Police forces in the UK arrested 1,086 criminals wanted by other European countries in 2020/21. The figure was down from 1,168 the previous year - the fifth annual decrease in a row.
However, just 461 people were extradited to the country where their crime was committed, down from 689 a year before and the lowest number since records began in 2009/10.
