I have a friend who had a Polish business partner who has sued me for breach of rights and other things; it's a long story. My friend lives in Switzerland and has paid a lot of money every month to expensive lawyers in Poland. If he lose the case, I suppose he will be extradited to Poland?

Are there any countries like Dubai, Qatar, or similar where one can seek refuge from such a verdict?
 
Are we talking about a civil case or a penal⁣ case? If he loses a civil case, he will only get the right to get⁢ the money from your friend. Having the right and getting the money are two separate︀ things. He would then to go through the process of a Betreibung in Switzerland to︁ actually get his money. In either case, he cannot be extradited to Poland for a︂ civil case.

If he is charged in a penal case, he may get extradited if︃ Poland is asking for. Most likely, he will first get a fine and only if︄ he does not pay the fine, it will be converted into a prison sentence. Only︅ in this case, Poland can ask for extradition. Then, comes the question. Is he Swiss?︆ If he is Swiss, he won't be extradited as long as he does not leave︇ Switzerland.
 
Thank you for your response; he is not Swiss but Swedish. And it is a‌ criminal case - so I assume Switzerland will not protect him in any way. But‍ are there other countries or places that would?
 
Agreeing with @daniels27 on all points.
Amending that from what I witnessed and heard, Switzerland‌ extradits non-Swiss people to EU countries with a will – if they are found guilty‍ of a criminal activity.
 
Okay guys, thank you, it is clear with Switzerland, that's why I asked for alternative‌ countries to relocate to where he can live without to be afraid of extradition!
 
Well gonna be very difficult to dodge interpol if it gets to that‍ point 😕. Even countries without formal extradition treaties still extradite on a case by case⁠ basis based on many factors including nature of crime and rules under the countries constitution⁤ etc. But I can't see a move to anywhere helping if he enters interpol black⁣ book. And once that happens you cannot bank or travel pretty anywhere anyway.
 
Brazil, Thailand, Russia they all host tons of EUSSR criminals searched by warrants. Just check‌ the news on Google.

What we do not know is whether they don't cooperate with‍ Poland now. I posted the link to the page of Polish agreements, maybe check their.⁠

As mentioned before, there is little information in English if this subject and I had⁤ to use Google in Polish to get results. I therefore highly recommend getting a lawyer⁣ in Poland with background on this matter. Maybe the one from my link above.
 
Laos.
One of the pirate bay guys was living there for a few years without‌ any issues, he got deported when he went to Thailand.

NOT Cambodia.
Another co-founder‍ went to Cambodia, and found out that Cambodia will deport you for 59 millions.

Brazil is safe if you have a baby there.
Thailand is︂ deporting and extradition on the slightest request or Interpol notice, 100% unsafe.
Russia? Probably safe︃ from deportation at the current time.
 
I read somewhere than Cambodia does not cooperate with Poland
Well this guy was high profile
 
I would also add Yemen. They are definitely not complying with any legal‌ challenge from a western country. In fact they are daily firing missile at their ships‍ sailing past conf/(%.
