French prosecutors seek 10-year term for Noriega (AP)

June 30th, 2010

FILE - In this Nov. 8, 1989 file photo Panamanian military strongman Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega talks to reporters in Panama City. Former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega's lawyers argued for his release as he went on trial in France on Monday June 28, 2010, saying he should be set free instead of facing money laundering charges that could put him back in jail for a decade. Noriega, who spent 20 years in U.S. custody for drug trafficking, started his testimony with a stumble, when he was asked about discrepancies in his date of birth on different legal documents. (AP Photo)AP - A French prosecutor has urged judges to send Panama’s former dictator Manuel Noriega to prison for 10 years and freeze some of his assets, accusing him of laundering drug profits through France.
