Excerpts From the Daily Press Briefing Pertaining to Western Hemisphere Affairs Full Briefing

QUESTION: This is about a Brazilian-born woman who was living in Ohio, Claudia Hoerig. She was indicted for her husband’s murder, she fled to Brazil. What’s being done to get Brazil to extradite her to stand trial?

MR. CROWLEY: This case is a high priority for the United States. We have raised Miss Hoerig’s case on numerous occasions with the Government of Brazil, and it’s an ongoing law enforcement matter, and I’ll leave it there.
