"There is precedent for Italy refusing to extradite wanted murderers back to the US on the basis of national policy.
As Gambling911.com has previously reported, Italy refused to extradite Vazquez Rijos on the basis that the wanted American fugitive could be a prime candidate for the death penalty if returned to the United States.
A U.S. grand jury charged Vazquez in 2008 with offering a man $3 million to kill her husband, online gambling entrepreneur and real estate tycoon Adam Anhang, in broad delight on a busy San Juan, Puerto Rico intersection. Anhang was brutally stabbed nearly two dozen times.
While living in Italy, Vazquez Rijos even gave birth to another mans twins. But she was captured back in June while in transit at Madrids international airport."
Oh and, unlike Amanda Knox, there is little doubt as to Vazquez's guilt.
