Thank you. SO this isn't a problem of corrupt mexicans looking the other way, but an official policy of their government to refuse extradition for people subject to death penalty or life in prison without parole.

I disagree with this, and we need to work it out, the legislation might help. Mexico isn't the only country we have this problem with, many European countries won't extradite people if they are subject to the death penalty.

I believe that in the general instance, mexico will jail the suspects on our request, but won't extradite them unless we promise not to seek the death penalty. But I was hoping for a specific case with a name I could research to see if that was true.

France is definately one of those countries.
