Why would she not just leave the country? The "you must surrender on X date" thing is wild to me.

You’d need to have liquid assets.
Looks like if she had citizenship somewhere it would work:
So if you want to commit crimes, buy Russian or French citizenship, I guess. Or find your Jewish grandparent.

also, all of the countries in green will extradite you (and a lot of the gray ones might) which doesn't leave you many options!

That’s apparently because he’s a citizen and France didn’t agree with the judge, or I don’t know. I want to say a lot of countries won’t extradite citizens for non-capital offenses. Like if you got arrested in Cambodia and flew home before they sentence you (false, they would probably hold your butt in a tiger cage for so much as the allegation of a serious crime) the US would probably ignore their request to send you to Cambodia because they would have to spend money to send you.
Looking at the Wikipedia article, the neurodivergents have said this:
The Swiss did too, I guess.
So to answer the question, yeah it’s a privilege reserved for the French.

She should have embezzled some money there beforehand or stocked up on liquid assets.

I looked up their extradition laws and there was a site talking about how they do their best to extradite all criminals except for:
The little detail they glossed over is that if they’re a citizen they tell the requesting nation to go frick themselves
If you’re a rich person, might as well get citizenship and maintain a base there, hop on that private jet if things get hairy

There's a reason Ashraf Ghani fled there with his stolen money lol. I thought there'd be some outrage over something that blatant but nope everyone just took it lying down. The cute twink afghans who cry about muh reserves being seized don't even bring him up kek.
