In other words, it wasn't a case of mistaken identity. This can be expressed much more simply in English.

I think I'd use the present tense, unlike the French, unless there's a reason - for example if another warrant has been issued since.

: I think you've got the meaning, but for me, despite differences between French and English, this is too cursory to stand in for the whole phrase.

We now know that he's a man, so I was right, more by luck than judgment.

s'appliquait bien à sa personne quant à l'identité
did indeed fit his personal profile as an identity match
I thought ID was a key part of executing an European Arrest Warrant.
Otherwise, I am - no doubt ignorantly - running scared of a Turnbull visual ID warning from the judge to a jury if the suspect is extradited vs. deported back to the UK.

a European Arrest Warrant..
Example sentence:
Content and form of the European arrest warrant 1. The European arrest warrant shall contain the following information set out in accordance with the form contained in the Annex: (a) the *identity* and nationality of the requested person;
No Turnbull direction is needed unless the prosecution case depends wholly or substantially on visual identification.

Mine was more of an exposition for those unfamiliar with European arrest warrants. Otherwise, we ought to be wary of spending too much time on questions asked by anonymous posters.

did indeed apply to him and there was no mistaken identity
I think Phil's got it right, but I go to the other extreme in terms of requirements of brevity or verbosity.
The French is not very literate: it is basically saying "yup, we checked his identity and it's definitely him".
If, as Phil does, you just say "it indeed related to him", you omit the important detail that someone somewhere actually did an identity check of some kind (cursory or in depth: it doesn't say).

: Women don't like the masculization of French and this is a good example of where I would agree with them for once. How do you know the warrant was issued against a man ("his")?

: (a) Verbosity is by definition bad, and (b) there was no "identity check". He's saying he is the person referred to in the warrant.

Daryo
: that's the right explanation // reality check: there is no need to explicitly mention any identity check - without such a check this whole situation simply wouldn't have happened AT ALL - there would have been nothing to translate!

Could have been "they.
I'm guessing that the translation unit you really wanted an answer for was "s'appliquait bien à sa personne quant à l'identité", though. Doesn't matter, anyway.
Il a déclaré expressément consentir à sa remise aux autorités du Royaume Uni
I think the Asker was struggling with "s'appliquait" and/or "quant à".
personal identity? identity as a person?
