The singer and guitarist was sentenced in absentia by a Brussels court last year on charges of parental abduction.
She was arrested in Italy in June and contested the extradition order, but a Rome court ruled Thursday that she must be transferred to Belgium within 10 days, according to her lawyer, Maddalena Claudia Del Re.
Traore was initially arrested in Paris in March 2020 under a European arrest warrant stemming from a Belgian court ruling that mandated she return her nine-year-old daughter to her Belgian father.
Despite a ban on leaving France, she traveled to Mali several months later before any extradition could take place.
Her actions were reportedly influenced by allegations of sexual abuse against the child’s father, which were later dismissed.
A lawyer for the father stated that he has had no contact with his daughter, who resides in Mali, since she was four years old.
The lawyer also mentioned that the father is willing to create a new custody agreement with Traore, sanctioned by both Malian and Belgian courts, to help resolve the situation and ensure a future for their child with both parents.
In addition to her celebrated music career, Traore is recognized for her advocacy for refugees and was appointed a UN ambassador for refugees in 2015.
