    Citation
    ECLI:EE:TLRK:2020:1.20.4089.17668
    Decision summary
    The Tallinn Circuit Court, Criminal Chamber dismissed as manifestly unfounded the appeals by Artur Mäeorg and his appointed counsel against the Harju County Court order recognizing and permitting execution in Estonia of Mäeorg's six-year Swedish prison sentence. It held that transfer to Estonia could facilitate social rehabilitation, that Mäeorg's consent was not required because he was an Estonian citizen subject to expulsion from Sweden, and that his arguments about early release and social ties did not justify disturbing the recognition order.
