Butcher of Lyons extradition blocked by Bolivian court
The Bolivian Supreme Court refused to extradite wartime Nazi Klaus Barbie, known as the Butcher of Lyons, to face a death sentence in France. The Sucre ruling cited no extradition treaty with Bolivia, allowing Barbie to remain in Cochabamba as a naturalized citizen. The court’s decision comes amid Bolivia’s judicial overhaul and Barbie’s disputed naturalization.
