Can a Mistaken Identity Lead to Extradition Proceedings?

Hello everyone. I recently discovered that someone with a similar name to mine is under investigation abroad for alleged financial crimes. Because our identities partially overlap in public records, I am concerned about the possibility of confusion. If a foreign authority were to issue documents that incorrectly identify me as the suspect, how would that be handled in the United States? Are there procedural safeguards in place to prevent extradition based on mistaken identity, and at what stage can such an issue be raised effectively?
