チリ最高裁、容疑者引き渡しを容認　筑波大生不明事件で仏当局へ

　【サンパウロ時事】フランス東部ブザンソンに留学中の筑波大生、黒崎愛海さん（東京都出身）が２０１６年１２月に行方不明となった事件で、チリ最高裁は２日、元交際相手のチリ人ニコラス・セペダ容疑者（２９）のフランスへの身柄引き渡しを認めた。
　セペダ容疑者は黒崎さんが連絡を絶つ直前まで一緒にいたことが確認されているが、失踪直後にチリに帰国。仏検察当局は殺人容疑で国際手配し、チリに引き渡しを求めていた。弁護側は異議を申し立てる見通し。（2020/04/03-06:59）

Chile's Supreme Court on Thursday accepted a request for the extradition of a Chilean suspect to France over the alleged murder of a Japanese woman who went missing while studying in France in December 2016.
   It has been confirmed that the woman, Narumi Kurosaki, was with Nicolas Zepeda Contreras, the suspect and her former boyfriend, until just before she went unaccounted for.
   Kurosaki, a student at the University of Tsukuba in the eastern Japan prefecture of Ibaraki, disappeared in Besancon in eastern France, where she had been studying.
   French prosecutors put Zepeda, 29, who returned to Chile shortly after Kurosaki's disappearance, on the international wanted list on suspicion of her murder.
   The Chilean top court pointed out that the evidence presented by French authorities can be considered trustworthy and sufficient to seek Zepeda's indictment even if the case was to be handled in Chile. The court said it will accept the French side's request to hand over the suspect in order to bring him to justice over the premeditated killing of Kurosaki.
