This letter from the French Ministry of Justice, dated December 11, 2020, is addressed to the U.S. Department of Justice. It explains that French law strictly prohibits the extradition of individuals who were French nationals at the time of the alleged crime, including those with dual nationality. The letter contrasts this with the legal systems of Anglo-Saxon countries like the United States and states that when France refuses extradition on grounds of nationality, it applies the principle of 'aut tradere, aut judicar' (either extradite or prosecute).
