Are you sure that they extradited him for the removing condom thing? Because that was one of the lesser charges in Sweden but he was also charged with rape due to the sex with the sleeping woman without a condom. I assume he was extradited because of that charge.

I am sure that they concluded that because I read that part of their conclusion at one point.
I don't know what else they may have concluded. But standard legal practice is to come to a conclusion about each charge regardless of what others you decided in case some of your conclusions are overruled on appeal.
For example if you conclude that either the condom or the sleep charge is sufficient, then the extradition can go forward even if the sleep charge got dropped.
I know that the UK court which agreed to extradite him concluded that, under UK law, removing the condom was rape. But I'm not as familiar with the actual Swedish charges.
