As part of the investigation of a case of extortion, robbery and sexual assault, the events of which occurred in August 2010 in Saint-Martin, the French authorities needed to hear two suspects imprisoned at Pointe Blanche prison in Sint Maarten.

The attorney general of Basse-Terre asked the general prosecutor's office of Sint Maarten to extract the two suspects for their hearing in French in court in Marigot, a request which was accepted.
