The public ministry of the Court of Justice of the Republic (CJR) announced on Tuesday that it had requested the referral to the Court of the former lawyer and current Keeper of the Seals Eric Dupond-Moretti, indicted for illegal taking of interests. The Minister of Justice is suspected of having taken advantage of his position to settle accounts with magistrates with whom he had had trouble when he was a lawyer in two cases. According to a press release from the general prosecutor’s office at the Court of Cassation, the public prosecutor judged that there were “sufficient charges” against the minister to send him to trial.
