Summary
This legal document argues that if the defendant, a French citizen, flees to France, she cannot be extradited to the United States. This assertion is based on a confirmation from the French Ministry of Justice, which stated that France has an inflexible principle of not extraditing its citizens to the U.S. The document further supports this claim with legal precedent from the case *United States v. Cilins*, concluding that any extradition waiver signed in the U.S. would be unenforceable in France.
