If I have committed a criminal offense in my country of origin, can I be prosecuted in France even if I am a foreigner?
Yes under certain conditions. This will be the case if:
- you have committed a serious crime;
- a European arrest warrant has been issued against you;
- if a request for international criminal assistance is requested by a foreign State (with the possibility of extradition);
- if the victim is French, and the crime or offense punishable by imprisonment.
