Ghislaine Maxwell offers to give up UK, French citizenship to get out of jail
Fox News
Accused sex-trafficking British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is so desperate to get out of her Brooklyn jail cell that she’s offering to renounce her U.K. and French citizenships in exchange for her freedom, new court papers show.
"Ms. Maxwell will renounce her French and British citizenship to eliminate any opportunity for her to seek refuge in those countries, if the Court so requires," her lawyers wrote in documents filed in Brooklyn federal court Tuesday. "Citizenship is a precious and priceless asset," the filing said. "Ms. Maxwell’s decision to give up citizenship from the country of her birth and the country of her upbringing demonstrates her earnestness to abide by the conditions of her release and underscores that she has no intention to flee and reflects her deep need to communicate freely with counsel to prepare for her defense."More Related News
