Stephanie Clifford, A Growing Body of of Law Allows the US to Prosecute Foreign Citizens; Federal courts as enforcement arenas for global crimes. New York Times, June 10, 2015

Quote:

"The world of soccer was roiled by a similar surprise late last month, heads snapping from Italy to Argentina, when Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch announced that Brooklyn prosecutors had indicted FIFA officials from the other side of the globe, on corruption charges.

"In the FIFA case, prosecutors chose not to invoke 'extraterritorial jurisdiction.' Instead they relied on the defendants’ use of American banks and American locations to conduct meetings as the basis for charging them in federal court.

My comment:
(a) When I came to US, I was surprised that usually neither US nor its states tries its citizen who committed crimes abroad, even against another US citizen, something different from practice of Taiwan and (later I learned) China. So, not only are those alleged terrorists surprised for being tried in US, but I also.
(b) In the FIFA case, I wondered about US jurisdiction, too. I was not alone. Federal district judge who presided the case, asked federal prosecutors, too, when FIFA defendants were arraigned.
(c) There is no need to read the rest--because trying a suspected terrorist who had nothing to do with US (physically not in US, never been to US, and not targeted US, its corporations or nationals) but is extradited to US at the request of the latter, will be decided in the coming years by various courts. We can wait.
