- Survey Designs Financing & amp; violation of the secrecy of the investigation and the investigation and breach of professional secrecy
Background Summary:
With the approach the 1995 elections, the government of Edouard Balladur, whom Nicolas Sarkozy was budget minister, would have granted astronomical commissions in arms sales to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. In exchange, intermediaries (taxed in the negotiation of these contracts by the prime minister and his defense minister Francois Leotard) have surrendered some of the sums received to finance the presidential campaign of Mr. Balladur, including Mr. Sarkozy was holder speak. An investigation is also open for “violating the secrecy of the investigation and the investigation and breach of professional secrecy” according to a statement from the Elysee end 2011 ensuring that the name of Mr Sarkozy “does not appear in any of the elements of the case. ” But neither the head of state nor the Presidency are to have access to documents contained in the investigation file.
What Nicolas Sarkozy is accused:
If his name comes up many times in the procedure, Nicolas Sarkozy is currently not worried in this case. The investigation confirmed that Mr Sarkozy had endorsed the conclusion of contracts and the remuneration of intermediaries, even if there was, initially, fiercely opposed. This could be criticized. But nothing proves that it was aware of the fact that these contracts generated windfall kickbacks. In the investigation initiated for violation of the confidentiality of investigations, Mr Sarkozy is not the signatory of the offending statement . It should therefore not be continued.
Where is the trick:
In June 2014, six people were referred in corrections in connection with this case, mainly for “misuse of assets social, complicity and concealment “while the Court of Justice of the Republic (CJR) had before it the case of Edouard Balladur and Francois Leotard.
The judges ruled that he belonged to the CJR, alone competent to Ministers try to choose the status – witness assisted witness or indicted – under which it will wish to question Nicolas Sarkozy. On the basis of the file, an examination setting – and a fortiori a conviction – Mr. Sarkozy seems very unlikely.
The investigation for “breach of confidentiality of the investigation” is ongoing and no one is prosecuted for the moment.
