French prosecutors oppose US extradition of Iranian engineer

French prosecutors on Wednesday opposed a US request to extradite an Iranian engineer accused by US authorities of buying sensitive technology and illegally exporting them to Iran.

Majid Kakavand, 37, is wanted for trial in the United States on charges of violating export laws on dual-use technology that could be used for military purposes 

During a court hearing in Paris, the prosecutors noted that the French arms agency DGA had concluded that the electronics  components purchased by Kakavand could not be considered as potentially dangerous dual-use technology.
