that's not what the judge thought. from the article in the telegraph:

> The defence believed its strongest argument against extradition was that Mr O'Dwyer had not committed an offence under British law

> However, Judge Purdy rejected the argument

I read that to mean the judge is not saying he broke British laws, just that not breaking British laws is not a valid argument.
i don't think your reading is correct. one of the basic principles of extradition agreements is that the law broken has to apply in both countries
