🌍 International Criminal Defense in France: Nicolas PAGANELLI, Your Strategic Advocate in Transnational Cases
In an era where borders are no longer barriers for law enforcement, international criminal defense has become a high-stakes legal frontier. When allegations of fraud, corruption, or cybercrime trigger cross-border investigations, the choice of your legal counsel in France can define the entire trajectory of your case.

He is widely regarded as one of the most skilled French practitioners in cases involving Interpol, European Arrest Warrants, and multinational white-collar crime.

- extradition treaties activated within hours,
- digital evidence seized across multiple jurisdictions.
Against this backdrop, you need a lawyer who not only speaks the language of the courts, but also that of diplomacy, risk management, and global defense coordination.
Me Nicolas PAGANELLI delivers all three.
