Judicial investigation opened after rape charges

Former minister Damien Abad, targeted by rape charges which he “strongly disputes”, announced on Friday that he had “been informed by the prosecution of an opening of a judicial investigation” concerning him.

The deputy of Ain indicates in a press release “wishes (r) to be heard quickly by the investigating magistrate in order to defend himself against despicable accusations, which he strongly contests”. A judicial investigation was opened on June 21 against him for charges of rape and attempted rape, a judicial source confirmed to AFP.
