This letter, dated December 11, 2020, is a formal communication from the French Ministry of Justice to the U.S. Department of Justice. It explains that under French law, France is absolutely prohibited from extraditing any individual who was a French national at the time an alleged crime was committed, regardless of dual nationality. The letter further states that when extradition is denied on these grounds, France is obligated by the principle of 'aut tradere, aut judicare' to prosecute the individual in its own courts.

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.

The letter explains that French law absolutely prohibits the extradition of individuals who were French nationals at the time of the alleged offense, regardless of dual nationality. It clarifies that when France refuses an extradition request on these grounds, it is obligated under the principle of 'aut tradere, aut judicare' (either extradite or prosecute) to bring legal proceedings against the person in its own courts.

This document is a formal letter from the French Ministry of Justice to the US Department of Justice, dated December 11, 2020, filed in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN). The letter clarifies French penal code, stating that France absolutely refuses to extradite its own citizens (including dual nationals), but under the principle of 'aut dedere aut judicare' (extradite or prosecute), France retains jurisdiction to try its citizens for crimes committed abroad. This is legally significant to the Maxwell case as she held French citizenship.
