I am aware of the case of the French citizen in question and of the controversy surrounding it. This case is being dealt with as a bilateral matter between France and Mexico. It is, however, being monitored by our Embassy which, together with the other EU diplomatic missions in Mexico, pays close attention to the situation regarding the administration of justice there.
