This legal document, filed in a U.S. court case, is a statement from Philippe Jaegle of the French Office of International Mutual Legal Assistance. It explains that under French law and its 1996 extradition treaty with the U.S., France systematically refuses to extradite its own nationals. The document contrasts this with the system within the European Union, where, due to a high level of integration and shared legal standards, member states cannot refuse extradition of their nationals to other member states solely on the basis of nationality.
