This document is a compilation of legal filings from late 2020 to early 2021 concerning Ghislaine Maxwell's repeated attempts to secure release on bail pending her trial for sex trafficking conspiracy. It includes the Government's opposition detailing her flight risk, wealth, and foreign ties (specifically to France and the UK), a victim statement from Annie Farmer, correspondence from the French Ministry of Justice confirming they do not extradite nationals, and Judge Nathan's orders denying bail. The documents highlight Maxwell's offer to renounce her foreign citizenships and pledge significant assets, all of which the Court found insufficient to assure her appearance.
This document is a Reply Memorandum filed on March 16, 2021, by Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team in support of her third motion for bail. The defense proposes a comprehensive bail package including a $28.5 million bond, asset monitoring by a retired federal judge, and renunciation of her British and French citizenships to mitigate flight risk concerns. Attached as Exhibit A is a legal opinion from French attorney William Julié arguing that if Maxwell renounces her French citizenship, she would no longer be protected from extradition by France, countering the French Ministry of Justice's position.
This document is a formal letter dated March 9, 2021, from the French Ministry of Justice to the US Department of Justice, transmitted via Liaison Magistrate Andrew Finkelman. It clarifies French extradition law (specifically Articles 696-2 and 694-4 of the Code of Criminal Procedure), stating definitively that France does not extradite its own nationals and that this constitutes an 'insurmountable obstacle' regardless of whether the nationality was lost after the offense occurred. This is likely in reference to the potential extradition of Jean-Luc Brunel or a similar figure involved in the Epstein case holding French citizenship.
This document is a legal memorandum written by French attorney William Julié on March 14, 2021, filed in the US v. Maxwell case. It argues against a French Ministry of Justice assertion, stating that France could legally extradite Ghislaine Maxwell if she renounces her French citizenship, which she stated she is prepared to do to secure bail. The memo aims to counter the argument that her French nationality creates an insurmountable flight risk due to non-extradition policies.
This document is a formal letter from the French Ministry of Justice to the U.S. Department of Justice, dated March 9, 2021. It clarifies French legal provisions (Articles 696 et sq., 696-2, and 694-4 of the Code of Criminal Procedure) regarding the removal of individuals. The letter emphasizes that removal is not granted for individuals who possess French citizenship at the time of the offense, making their French nationality an "insuperable obstacle" to removal.
This document is a formal statement from Philippe Jaeglé of the Office for the International Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters, explaining that under Article 3 of the 1996 Bilateral Extradition Treaty and French law, France refuses to extradite its nationals to the United States. It clarifies that while France extradites nationals within the EU due to political integration and shared human rights standards (European arrest warrant), it has never deviated from the non-extradition principle for countries outside the EU. The document bears a DOJ Bates stamp and a court filing header dated December 18, 2020.
This document is an exhibit filed on December 18, 2020, in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330). It is a formal statement from Philippe Jaeglé of the French Office for International Mutual Assistance, clarifying that under the 1996 Bilateral Extradition Treaty and French law, France systematically refuses to extradite its own nationals to the United States. The text distinguishes this policy from intra-EU extradition rules.
This document is a legal memorandum signed by Philippe Jaeglé of the French Office for the International Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters. It explicitly clarifies that under the 1996 Bilateral Extradition Treaty and French law, France 'systematically refuses' to extradite its own nationals to the United States, noting this is a principle deviated from only within the European Union. This document is significant in the context of the Epstein case as it outlines the legal barrier that prevented the US from extraditing French associates like Jean-Luc Brunel.
This document is a legal memorandum authored by French attorney William Julié on March 14, 2021, filed in the US case against Ghislaine Maxwell. It provides a legal opinion countering the French Ministry of Justice's stance, arguing that if Maxwell were to renounce her French citizenship (which she stated she is prepared to do), the French government would be legally entitled to extradite her to the US. The memo specifically refutes a March 9, 2021 letter from Philippe Jaeglé of the French Ministry of Justice regarding the non-extradition of nationals.
