This legal document, a page from a court filing, analyzes the legal ambiguity surrounding the timing of nationality assessment for an extradition request under the U.S.-France Extradition Treaty. It presents conflicting interpretations, with the treaty and French law suggesting nationality is assessed at the time of the offense, while the Defendant's expert argues for the time of the request. This uncertainty complicates the Defendant's potential renunciation of French citizenship as a means to prevent extradition.
