French court rejects Noriega’s request for release

Baku – APA. A French court has turned down former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega’s request to be released from prison while awaiting possible extradition to his home country, APA reports quoting “Associated Press”.
In July, a Paris court convicted Noriega of laundering drug money in France and ordered him to spend seven years behind bars. He had been sent to France to face trial after spending two decades in a U.S. prison.
Panama is now seeking his extradition from France on crimes that include the murder of political opponents.
Noriega’s lawyer says he does not oppose being sent to Panama, but he wants to be released from prison in France in the meantime. The court said no to that request Wednesday.
Noriega gives his age as 76 and says he is in poor health.
