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.
