Summary
This document is the final page of a legal opinion by French lawyer William Julié filed in the Ghislaine Maxwell case (1:20-cr-00330). Julié argues that French law does not absolutely prohibit the extradition of nationals and cites a past letter from Senators Durbin and Obama to support the interpretation that France has discretion to extradite. He concludes it is unlikely the French government would refuse to extradite Maxwell, especially given the 2010 EU-US extradition agreement.
