Fighting Possible International Extradition
I've lived in this country, as a green card holder for the last 25 years and currently reside in New York State.
I'm accused in Brazil for " temerary management of a financial institution" (ask them what that means) of which I was a board member back in 1993.
Can I be extradited to Brazil for such " crime" if a Brazilian court convicts me of that?
What is the Statutes of Limitation for such offense in this country?

You can read Brazil's extradition treaties with the United States here.

here.
The treaty states that for extradition to take place the offense must also be a crime in the US and that the statute of limitation has not run out.
Hence my question on whether the offense described qualifies as crime here and what's the statute of limitation for that crime.
Tks.
Re: Fighting Possible International Extradition
You can look up New York's laws here (the best place to start is the penal code), to see if there is an equivalent statute, based upon whatever it is that you're accused of having done.
