Summary
This is a formal letter dated December 11, 2020, from the French Ministry of Justice to the U.S. Department of Justice. The letter explains that French law absolutely prohibits the extradition of individuals who were French nationals at the time of the alleged offense, regardless of dual nationality. It clarifies that when France refuses an extradition request on these grounds, it is obligated under the principle of 'aut tradere, aut judicare' (either extradite or prosecute) to bring legal proceedings against the person in its own courts.
