Document Summary

This document is a legal opinion filed in December 2020 (likely in the Ghislaine Maxwell criminal case), authored by French lawyer William Julié. It argues that French law does not absolutely prohibit the extradition of its nationals to the US, citing the 'Peterson case' and a 2010 EU-US agreement. The document specifically references Ghislaine Maxwell, concluding it is unlikely France would refuse to extradite her, and quotes a past letter from Senators Durbin and Obama supporting discretionary extradition.
