The extradition request follows a plea from Czech authorities. Liebich, who has the option to accept or reject the extradition, was sentenced to 18 months in prison in August 2022. If extradited, she will be transferred to Chemnitz, where Saxony’s judiciary will take over the case. The situation has drawn criticism regarding the potential misuse of Germany’s recently enacted self-determination law, under which Liebich changed her gender designation to female.
