Although the prosecution urged Judge Lasnick to sentence Raoult to six years in prison, the judge sentenced Raoult to 36 months in prison: 12 months for the conspiracy to commit wire fraud charge and 24 months for the aggravated identity theft charge.
Raoult's extradition fight also included his counsel, Philippe Ohayon, seeking the intervention of the United Nations Committee Against Torture. Ultimately, however, the US persuaded Morocco to extradite Raoult, and he was arrested here on January 27, 2023. At the time, if one simply counted up the maximum sentences for each of the nine counts he faced, he was potentially facing more than 100 years in prison.
