Eric Dupond-Moretti is suspected of having taken advantage of his function as Minister of Justice to settle scores with magistrates whom he had opposed when he was a lawyer, his advice announced on Monday.
“As unfortunately we expected, it was a dismissal order that was issued by the commission of the instruction (note: from the CJR). We immediately lodged an appeal in cassation against this judgment. This stop no longer exists”, announced Me Christophe Ingrain and Rémi Lorrain at the exit of the CJR, in Paris, in the absence of Eric Dupond-Moretti.
This is the first time that a minister in office has been referred to the court.
