Via the BBC: Judge agrees Noriega extradition

Noriega faces 10 years in prison in France on money-laundering charges.

Judge William Turnoff’s decision was a formality after a judge last week rejected arguments by Noriega’s lawyers he should be returned to Panama.

Of course, as noted before, even if he goes back to Panama he faces charges as well. At a minimum being a former strongman ain’t what it used to be when you got to retire to Miami Beach.
