This document is a legal opinion by French attorney William Julié, dated December 18, 2020, submitted in support of Ghislaine Maxwell's motion for release. Julié argues against the US government's position that France would not extradite Maxwell because of her French citizenship. He contends that under the US-France Extradition Treaty and the EU-US Agreement, France retains the discretion to extradite nationals and, unlike the 2007 Hans Peterson case, would likely do so in Maxwell's case.

This legal document argues against a defense submission by asserting that French law and practice systematically prohibit the extradition of French nationals to the United States. It refutes the defense expert's claim of no precedent by citing the 2006 case of Hans Peterson, a dual U.S.-French citizen who confessed to murder in the U.S. but was shielded from U.S. law enforcement by France. The document concludes that any anticipatory waiver of extradition by the defendant would be unenforceable in French courts.

This document is a page from a legal memorandum filed on December 23, 2020, by French lawyer William Julié regarding the extradition of Ghislaine Maxwell. Julié argues that the US-France Extradition Treaty allows France discretion to extradite its own citizens, countering the DOJ's reliance on the 2007 'Peterson case' precedent. The text analyzes the Peterson case, noting it was a discretionary decision by the Ministry of Justice rather than a court ruling, and references a 2007 letter from Senators Obama and Durbin regarding that matter.

This legal document argues that France's laws and practices prevent the extradition of its nationals, even if they hold dual citizenship with the United States. It refutes a defense expert's claim of no precedent by citing the 2006 case of Hans Peterson, a dual U.S.-French citizen who confessed to murder in the U.S. but was shielded from U.S. law enforcement by France after turning himself in to French authorities.

This document is page 20 of a government filing (Document 100) in the case of USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN), filed on December 18, 2020. The text argues that the defendant (Maxwell) represents a flight risk because French law strictly prohibits the extradition of its nationals, even if they hold dual citizenship with the US. The prosecution cites the 2006 case of Hans Peterson as a precedent where France refused to extradite a dual citizen who confessed to murder in the US.
DOJ-OGR-00020121.jpg
This document is a page from a legal opinion by French lawyer William Julié, filed as an exhibit in the Ghislaine Maxwell case. It analyzes the extradition treaty between France and the USA, arguing that France has the discretion to extradite its own citizens. The text specifically rebuts a DOJ argument based on the 2007 'Hans Peterson' case (involving Senators Obama and Durbin), stating that the Peterson outcome was a discretionary ministerial decision rather than a binding judicial precedent.
DOJ-OGR-00020080.jpg
This page from a government filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN, U.S. v. Ghislaine Maxwell) argues that the defendant poses a flight risk because French law strictly prohibits the extradition of French nationals. The prosecution refutes the defense expert's claim that there is no precedent for this by citing the 2006 case of Hans Peterson, a dual US-French citizen who committed murder in the US but could not be extradited from French territory (Guadeloupe) despite US efforts.
