This document is a page from a legal opinion filed on December 14, 2020, by French attorney William Julié in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The text argues that French Constitutional law and the 1996 Extradition Treaty with the US do not strictly prohibit the extradition of French nationals, asserting that it is ultimately an executive decision. The author concludes that if Maxwell were to flee to France, the French Investigating Chamber would not be legally bound to block her extradition to the United States.
