Noriega, who has been in a French prison since 2010, was notified of the extradition request on July 29, the ministry said in a statement. The move came after Washington consented to the extradition earlier this summer. Born into poverty, Noriega muscled his way to the top of Panama's military and became de facto ruler of the Central American country until he was ousted in a 1989 U.S. invasion. "For the family members and the victims of the dictatorship it is a great satisfaction that he finally returns to his country to face Panamanian justice," said Patria Portugal, whose father was abducted and killed during Noriega's rule. After serving 20 years in a U.S. prison for drug trafficking, money laundering and racketeering, Noriega was sent to France, where he had been sentenced in absentia in 1999 to seven years in jail. He was convicted of laundering millions of euros in French bank accounts and properties in the 1980s. Noriega will have a month to launch an appeal to prevent his extradition. His lawyers have indicated in the past, however, that the 77-year-old wants to return to Panama. If Noriega does not fight the transfer, Panamanian authorities "will be able to quickly take custody of the former dictator," the ministry said in a statement. In Panama, Noriega has been sentenced to three 20-year sentences for dictatorship-era killings that will be served concurrently, said Noriega's lawyer Julio Berrios. Under Panamanian law, Noriega is entitled to serve his sentences under house arrest but a judge would first have to approve the measure, said Berrios. Special cells have been prepared for Noriega at a penitentiary near Panama City, local media reported. It is unclear if Panama will pursue more charges against Noriega but victims could insist on more legal action. Portugal, who heads Panama's government human rights organization, estimates there are some 100 dictatorship-era disappearances that have not been fully investigated by authorities.
