A French court on Wednesday, June 3, ruled that suspected genocide mastermind Félicien Kabuga be transferred, from France to the custody of the Residual Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (RMICT), for trial.
Kabuga last appeared in court on Wednesday, May 27, a week after his lawyers were granted more time to prepare their case.
On Wednesday, Richard Gisagara, a Rwandan lawyer based in France who is following up on the case, told The New Times that: "The court rejected all of his (Kabuga's) pleas.
However, Sekule ruled that there was no need for the temporary transfer even before the suspect exhausts the ongoing process on extradition in French courts.
After his interrogation by prosecution last month, Kabuga also made his first court appearance in the Paris Court of Appeal, on May 20.
