Какой стране для каких целей нужен Мануэль Норьега:

PANAMA CITY (Reuters) -- captured by U.S. forces in a 1989 invasion of Panama, Noriega was later convicted in a Miami court on multiple charges of drug trafficking and racketeering. He is due to be released on September 9 but it is not clear where he will be sent.

Panama says it wants him to serve his sentence for ordering the 1985 torture-slaying of Hugo Spadafora, a prominent opponent, but France wants him extradited to serve a 10-year jail term there for laundering money through French banks.

Само собой разумеется, he was initially a strong ally of the United States and worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from the late 1950s to 1986.
