The judicial file of the current Minister of Justice, Eric Dupond-Moretti, in examination for illegal taking of interests, before the Court of Justice of the Republic (CJR) will not get worse with a third part . On April 25, the Attorney General at the Court of Cassation, François Molins, decided not to seize the CJR investigation commission of a complaint filed on March 30 by the union union of magistrates (USM), as revealed BFM-TV this Monday.

The majority union of the profession underlined the situation of the first president of the Court of Appeal of Cayenne, Marie-Laure Piazza, whose jurisdiction was the subject, in 2021, of an order of orderly situation by the Chancellery. A decision made even when in 2016 an incident had opposed M me piazza, from the time when she presided over the Haute-Corse Assize Court, to Mr. Dupond-Moretti, then a lawyer. The latter had been given a reminder to the law for violation of the secrecy of the deliberation, threats and acts of intimidation.

For the USM, “Given the liabilities having existed between M me piazza and Mr. Dupond-Moretti, the latter should never have been the sponsor nor the recipient of this examination of a situation targeting the Cayenne court of appeal, chaired by M me piazza “. According to his complaint, the union wanted to proof that “the very formulation of the mission letter ordering the situation exam, in the context of a union challenge going against the heads of court, contains in germ a discount In question of the management of court chiefs “.

” hazardous link “

At the end of the report of the report, the Prime Minister’s office, Jean Castex, asked, on January 24, from the General Inspectorate of Justice (IGJ) the opening of an administrative inquiry aimed at Both precisely the facts denounced by this situation examination and directly M me piazza. “It is obvious that the expected and expected results of this situation survey would then serve as a pretext to trigger an administrative inquiry against M me piazza,” wrote the USM in its complaint.

This is not the analysis made by François Molins who, in a letter to the union, explained why he would not grasp the committee of investigation of these facts. According to the representative of the public prosecutor near the CJR, “he is (…) at the very least risky to do – whatever the feeling of the interested party – a link between a local situation really degraded for several years – well before the appointment of The current Keeper of the Seals – and an incident that occurred years ago in a completely different framework “. He then underlines that, “when the situation examination mission is ordered, no specific element still calls into question a possible responsibility of M me piazza, and this mission was essential because of the difficulties met locally “.
