Summary
This document is a formal letter from the French Ministry of Justice to the US Department of Justice, dated December 11, 2020. It explicitly clarifies French law regarding extradition, stating that France is absolutely prohibited from extraditing its own nationals, including dual citizens (likely referencing Jean-Luc Brunel or Ghislaine Maxwell in the context of the Epstein investigation). It further explains that while extradition is refused, France retains jurisdiction to prosecute these individuals domestically under the principle of 'aut tradere, aut judicare' (extradite or prosecute).
