Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript dated April 1, 2021, in which a representative for the government argues that a defendant is a significant flight risk. The argument is based on the defendant's dual citizenship in France and the United Kingdom, her property ownership in the UK, and her access to significant undisclosed wealth. The government asserts that extradition would be impossible from France and a lengthy, uncertain process from the UK, creating a real concern that she could live beyond the reach of US justice indefinitely.

ties. While she is a naturalized citizen of the United States, she is a citizen of France and the United Kingdom. She grew up in the United Kingdom and has a history of extensive international travel. She owns a property in the United Kingdom. Your Honor, there is a real concern here that the defendant could live beyond the reach of extradition indefinitely.
The government has spoken with the Department of Justice attachés in the United Kingdom and France.
With respect to France, we have been informed that France will not extradite a French citizen to the United States as a matter of law, even if the defendant is a dual citizen of the United States.
As well, we have been informed that there is an extradition treaty between the United Kingdom and the United States. The extradition process would be lengthy, the outcome would be uncertain, and it's very likely that the defendant would not be detained during the pendency of such an extradition proceeding.
Those circumstances raise real concerns here.
Particularly because the defendant appears to have the financial means to live beyond the reach of extradition indefinitely. As we detailed in our briefing, your Honor, the defendant appears to have access to significant and undetermined and undisclosed wealth.
