The only person convicted in the United States for the September 11 attacks submitted a request to the French Ministry of Justice to serve the rest of their sentence in France. The request was formalized this morning.
The application is based on a bilateral prisoner transfer agreement signed in 1983 between France and the United States. This treaty allows citizens of either country to serve prison sentences in their country of origin.
Through this legal mechanism, the convicted individual seeks to transfer to French territory to complete their sentence. The article does not specify who the convicted person is or the details of the sentence imposed.
The French Ministry of Justice is now responsible for analyzing the request submitted based on the 1983 agreement.
