Re: Head of International Monetary Fund Arrested For Attempted Rape - May 19th 2011, 05:21 PM

To clarify an earlier comment I made, I have since discovered that France does not in fact have an extradition treaty with the USA and would therefore not be obliged to send him back to the USA for trial (which would explain why the prosecution objected strongly to bail and why it was denied). However, France would still be unable to exercise jurisdiction over the case so the remaining points still stand, and there is the question of political pressure to extradite him regardless as a "fugitive from justice" to consider as well.

However bleak things seem, however insurmountable the darkness appears, remember that you have worth and nothing can take that away.
