Article 8
Additional information
If the requested Contracting Party deems that the information provided to support the
extradition request is not sufficient, it may request that additional information be supplied within
a period of thirty days. If the requesting Contracting Party explains the reasons to justify an
extension, it may be granted an additional 15 days. If the requesting Contracting Party does not

be taken into preventive custody before the formal extradition request is filed. That request
shall be in writing and filed through the channels stipulated in Article 6 of this Treaty, the
International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO-INTERPOL) or other channels that both
Contracting Parties mutually agree upon.
