On February 18, 2015 France’s highest court, Cour de Cassation, overturned the decision of a lower court to extradite Mario Sandoval, a former Argentine police officer who is accused of committing crimes against humanity during Argentina’s “dirty war,” and ruled that the case be reexamined. According to one report, Sandoval’s lawyer indicated “the reversal was on a technicality in the statute of limitations.” Argentina has prosecuted and sentenced various individuals for crimes committed during the dirty war and has sought Sandoval’s extradition since 2012.
