The Keeper of the Seals Éric Dupond-Moretti seized the status and ethics office after the words of a magistrate. Robert Bartoletti was the advocate general during the trial of the fake playboy of Nice, at the end of October before the criminal court of Hérault in Montpellier.
The questions put to the accused are at the origin of this procedure: “How many women would want to have sex with you when they saw you?” Me, I have my little idea: close to zero? ” Or. “You, could you have sex with any woman?” The physical criterion is important, isn’t it? “ The procedure was revealed by The world and confirmed to AFP by the Ministry of Justice.
The Advocate General bound by a duty of discretion and impartiality
A member of the public prosecutor, the advocate general is the representative of the company. Its role is to ask that the law of the Republic be applied. He watches over the general interests of society. By their statute and their oath, the magistrates are bound to a duty of reserve and impartiality and to a “dignified” conduct.. For its part, the status and ethics office is placed under the authority of the Keeper of the Seals. He is in particular “in charge of the ethical and disciplinary questions of the magistrates. “
It was the first surprise rape trial in the history of justice. Jack Sion, a man now 74, was posing as Anthony Laroche, on social networks. According to a predetermined scenario, his victims, who thought they had to make a 37-year-old playboy, were tied up, blindfolded and not allowed to touch him. He was sentenced to 8 years in prison by the Hérault criminal court.
