Argentina Tries to Extradite (Again) Man at the Center of Maletagate

Maletagate is in headlines again, this time because on Tuesday the Argentine Embassy in Washington D.C. petitioned for the extradition of Venezuelan Guido Antonini Wilson for having smuggling money and money laundering. Now it's up to the U.S. Department of State to decide if the petition meets the guidelines set forth in a 1997 treaty between the U.S. and Argentina. Then the petition needs to be approved by the U.S. Department of Justice. The process could take up to a year.
