High Court orders the surrender of an individual to Italy under three of five European Arrest Warrants (EAWs) for various theft-related offenses. The court found that the individual's rights of defense were not breached during the Italian proceedings, despite his absence at some trials, as he had been informed of the proceedings and chose not to attend. However, surrender was refused for one warrant due to a lack of evidence that the individual was aware of the proceedings, and for another because the sentence had already been served.
