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.
