Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Extradition is the formal intergovernmental process for transferring a person for prosecution or punishment, subject to treaties and domestic law.

C:

The assets' jurisdiction generally controls recognition and execution of the outside judgment, including procedural defenses; the inquiry instead concerns Extradition, with its own elements.

E:

Supervisory authorities can share information under statutes, memoranda or other authorized cooperation mechanisms with confidentiality restrictions; the relevant step in this scenario is Extradition.
