what countries out outside the reach of interpol / US extradition for this type of crime? Guessing he's still in South America someplace.
- mushufasa 7y agofarther. us has extradition with all south america, and is widely believed to have a large cia presence as well. (lots of historical evidence for that). https://www.voanews.com/archive/explainer-extradition-and-us https://www.voanews.com/archive/explainer-extradition-and-us interpol has 194 member countries. https://www.interpol.int/en/Who-we-are/Member-countries https://www.interpol.int/en/Who-we-are/Member-countries google says there are currently 195 countries. somehow, though, I don't believe they're in North Korea? Nor that the documentary filmmaker could get there...
- sailfast 7y agoYeah - my money would be in Venezuela or Cuba.
- rmason 7y agoVenezuela makes the most sense since he could simply walk over the border from Brazil. Guyana might be another possibility as well which would have the added advantage of English being the national language. John McAfee famously lived in Guyana.
- blatant 7y agoI am pretty sure McAfee lived in Belize, another English speaking country.
- mirimir 7y agoI wonder if Snowden could have been OK in Cuba, Guyana or Venezuela.
- sebastiangraef 7y agoProbably way higher chance of just getting abducted.
- vkou 7y agoMcAfee lived in Belize, and he was not hiding from the US there. He is actually hiding in the US from Belize.
- sirtoffski 7y agoAfter watching the doc - I wouldn’t want to spoil it, so I’d just say these guesses were not correct. I was thinking Cuba or Venezuela too at first though.
- sailfast 7y agoThanks for this - watching the documentary is the correct answer! I’ll get right on it.
- unstrafed 7y agoTaiwan and North Korea are the only two countries I've found that seem to have no extradition and no (formal) interface to law enforcement abroad through Interpol. Palau, Tuvalu and Micronesia in the Pacific are not members of Interpol, but they do have extradition treaties with the US, and then there are a host of countries in Interpol that have no US extradition.
- dmolony 7y agoThe documentary says he is in France.
- findyoucef 7y agoHe's in France and france doesn't extradide french citizens. They will extradite other nationalities though.
