Evidence & Documents
The documents below are English translations of the official correspondence and court records in the case of Kenneth Ehigiene — including the letters in which the Dutch Ministry of Justice confirms that the German authorities withdrew their extradition request because Kenneth was not the person they were looking for, and acknowledges the failures in procedure. These are the facts, in the authorities’ own words.
The collection includes: the lawyer’s formal request for the legal basis of release; the Ministry of Justice’s reply confirming the withdrawal; the letter admitting photographs were unlawfully taken; correspondence with Prime Minister Balkenende and his response; the Supreme Court advocate-general’s findings (Machielse); official court records of the extradition hearings; and the letter concerning the unlawful house search.
