What happens if the legal classification of the offence changes during the proceedings against a person who has been returned?
If the legal classification of the offence changes during the proceedings against a person who has been returned, he may not be charged, prosecuted or otherwise proceeded against in any manner that would deprive him of his liberty, unless the new elements of the crime are based upon the same facts for which he was extradited and constitute an offence punishable by the same penalty prescribed for the offence for which he was extradited or by a more severe penalty.
