Peter Thiel has moved to Argentina

56. They do - but with caveats

Argentina - like many nations - will not extradite anyone they have reason to believe will face the death penalty.

The most recent such example, as far as Argentina, is of Kurt Sonnenfeld - a FEMA videographer who was charged with murdering his wife in 2002.

Sonnenfeld - who shot the last FEMA footage taken of the World Trade Center before 9/11, as well as some of the first from after the attack - has long suggested that his wife may have been murdered by the Bush regime in retaliation for his questioning the official story.

His murder charge was in fact initially dropped - before being unexpectedly refiled by prosecutors (i.e. someone in Washington made phone calls - if so, probably the eminently greasy John Ashcroft). Sonnenfeld left for Argentina at that point - and has lived there ever since.

He was almost extradited in 2015 - when then-President Cristina Kirchner (herself a neo-con target) granted him political asylum just days before leaving office.

So, yes - while Argentina has an extradition treaty with the U.S. (and many other countries), presidents reserve the right to override such orders. And this authoritarian Chucky-doll Milei definitely would, for those he sees as backers.

That's assuming, of course, that he'll be re-elected in '27 - which now looks very unlikely, given his mounting corruption scandals and the worsening Mileise.
