A controversial movement is gathering support in France to prevent the extradition of Ayoub Aissiou, a former Algerian oligarch, from Spain. Aissiou was heavily condemned in Algeria for corruption-related offenses. Supporters have sent an open letter to French President Emmanuel Macron and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez urging Aissiou’s release. The resurfacing of this support highlights tensions related to Algeria within French political circles. The case sparks debate surrounding extradition and potential political motivations. The details of the specific charges and Aissiou’s past remain largely unspecified in this report. This development initially appeared on TSA news.
