YES! Like what we go from surprise to surprise! And I'm not a little proud to see that some of our judges are not impressed by the powers of money and the beautiful costumes…; ))) Cheer !
Nicolas Sarkozy and Eric Woerh
The lawyers of Nicolas Sarkozy and Eric Woerth will have tried everything to discredit the Bordeaux judges and their investigation. What do they fear to deploy such energy?
Caramba! Failed again! In the Bettencourt file, the lawyers of Nicolas Sarkozy and Eric Woerth have again failed to knock out the three investigating judges in charge of this family affair as much as of State.
Seizure of grounds for nullity of the famous medical expertise commissioned by Judge Gentil and carried out on June 7, 2011 on the person of Liliane Bettencourt, the investigating chamber of the Bordeaux Court of Appeal announced that it would render its judgment September 24.
But Advocate General Pierre Nalbert, representative of the Public Prosecutor's Office, has already affirmed that this medical examination - which traces the vulnerability of the L'Oréal heiress back to September 2006 and which is therefore the basis for most of the examination for abuse of weakness in this case, including that of Nicolas Sarkozy - was legally valid. He even considered that if the investigating magistrates were "passed by force" to carry out this expertise, such a decision was justified by the urgency and the difficulty of having the billionaire undergo a medical examination.
In other words, for the prosecution – and without prejudging the decision that the investigating chamber will make – all the arguments raised by the lawyers of the twelve people indicted in this sprawling case deserve to be swept away.
However, it is not for lack of having tried everything to discredit the Bordeaux judges and their investigation. The lawyers for Nicolas Sarkozy and Eric Woerth, among others, first questioned the probity of judge Jean-Michel Gentil and the expert Sophie Gromb, on the grounds that the latter had been the witness at the wedding of the judge's wife, prosecutor Isabelle Raynaud, on June 30, 2007 in Mérignac.
Then, they suggested that this doctor, head of the forensic medicine department of the Bordeaux University Hospital, recognized for his skills by all of his colleagues, would have benefited from an undue increase in his fees - which happened, subsequently found to be untrue. At the hearing, Mr.e Thierry Herzog, Nicolas Sarkozy's lawyer, even suggested that Judge Gentil would have used “fraudulent maneuvers” to designate the experts who arranged it.
It does not matter that the investigation is directed by three judges (Jean-Michel Gentil, Valérie Noël and Cécile Ramonatxo) and not only one, it does not matter that the expertise was carried out by five doctors and not one, these elements of life private would prove, in the eyes of the defenders of Nicolas Sarkozy, that the investigation did not meet the probity required in this kind of procedure. Except that this is not at all the opinion of the prosecution – the same prosecution which nevertheless requested a dismissal for Nicolas Sarkozy and Eric Woerth.
To date, moreover, no one has thought of wondering how the defenders of the former Head of State and the former Budget Minister were able to obtain this kind of information on the Judge's private life. Who investigated in this way – and by mobilizing what means? – to discover the names of witnesses to a magistrate's marriage? Perhaps the question will be raised, one day, at the bar of a court...
In the meantime, the postponement of the decision of the investigating chamber of the court of appeal to September 24 poses a serious problem for Nicolas Sarkozy's lawyers. Indeed, from July 29, the investigating judges can, without waiting for this judgment, issue their settlement order and, therefore, decide who, in the Bettencourt case, benefits from a dismissal and who is sent to court for trial. As a result, the lawyers for all the indicted have filed a request for suspension of the investigation before the president of the investigating chamber, who should respond in the next few days.
But whatever its answer, the judicial guerrilla will not stop there. The word "guerrilla" is probably too weak. The AFP, usually less lyrical, even allowed itself, the day before the hearing, to title one of its dispatches: "Bettencourt: the defense drops a carpet of bombs on the investigation". A carpet of bombs… The kind of expression that war reporters once used to describe the fighting in Vietnam and, in particular, the use of napalm!
Lawyers can still make a request to challenge the judge to the first president of the Bordeaux Court of Appeal. Some are even considering filing a complaint for forgery in public writing against Judge Gentil. A procedural offensive which obviously recalls the smear campaign launched, in the summer of 2010, against the Nanterre judge Isabelle Prévost-Desprez, then in charge of the investigation. Successful campaign, since at the end of a disputed and questionable procedure, it had been removed from the Bettencourt file. The instruction had then been out of place in Bordeaux.
Today, it is the judge of Bordeaux that we are trying to kill. And with what consistency! All means are obviously allowed. It was first suggested that the mere fact that the judge was married to a female prosecutor could cast suspicion on the independence of her work. Malicious rumor, very quickly dismantled.
Then, arguing that Jean-Michel Gentil had been president of the association of investigating magistrates, some wanted to believe that he was necessarily on the left, therefore engaged in a political fight against Sarkozy.
His lawyer, Mr.e Thierry Herzog, then saw fit to mock the "errors" facts of the investigation conducted by the judge. The magistrate - it was written in the Journal du Dimanche and the information had been picked up by all the audiovisual media - would have confused Liliane Bettencourt and Ingrid Betancourt by analyzing the appointments on Nicolas Sarkozy's diary. A lie so big that the Bordeaux prosecutor's office had to issue a press release to indicate: "Contrary to what may have been published in various press organs about a confusion between Mme Ingrid Betancourt and M.me Liliane Bettencourt, Mr. Nicolas Sarkozy's summons did not mention an appointment relating to Mr.me Ingrid Betancourt, appearing in his diary on June 5, 2007 at the Élysée Palace, and that he was not questioned on this point”.
Le Figaro then opportunely brought out a column published in the newspaper Le Monde dated June 27, 2012 in which 82 magistrates – including Judge Gentil – were alarmed at the abandonment of the fight against major financial crime. Nicolas Sarkozy's name was never mentioned in the text, but that was all it took to Le Figaro and Nicolas Sarkozy's friends to conclude that the former President of the Republic was in the crosshairs of a real judge " red ". A magistrate with political aims who had no other goal than to "to do" the former head of state. Not only incompetent, but also militant.
And we pass over the vitriolic attacks that the friends of the former head of state saw fit to launch against the magistrate. Starting with Henri Guaino who flatly accused him of dishonouring “one man, the institutions, justice. »
But for now, like Robert Lamoureux's famous duck, Judge Gentil was still alive...
