It is not, by itself, affect the conditions of employment and work of the judicial magistrates, ” said the Council of State. Which returns in its aims the Union of the magistrates, who saw in this “interference” to a ” serious violation and manifestly illegal to the independence of the judicial authority “.
Who is the mole ?
Driving for several years in the greatest secrecy, so that a judicial inquiry by two independent judges was already open to “corruption” and ” traffic of influence “, the parallel investigation of the PNF was to unmask a possible “mole” may have informed the former head of State and his council that the open line in the name of Paul Bismuth was on listening. Conducted under the guise of a preliminary investigation for ” violation of professional secrecy “, these investigations, in spite of their duration, have never resulted in to unmask anyone. In the meantime, the fadettes of several judges and lawyers have been meticulously peeled, some protagonists have even been pinpointed. Among them : the criminal lawyers, Hervé Témime, Jean Veil and a certain Eric Dupond-Moretti, who was not yet minister of Justice.
