Two witnesses testified in this case reopened in September 2015. One of them had never been heard in the original investigation on the death of the Labour Minister Raymond Barre October 1979. the family of Robert Boulin wants it “sweep the suicide theory.”
Since September, following a fresh complaint against X family of Boulin, the floor of Versailles has opened an investigation to “arrest, abduction and kidnapping followed by death or murder.” More than 36 years after the death of the deputy mayor of Libourne, the judge handling the case on the death of Minister Robert Boulin, whose body was found in 1979 in the forest of Rambouillet, heard two witnesses who question the suicide theory, did on Wednesday a judicial source.
“One of these witnesses, emergency doctor who visited the scene first, told the judge that the position of the body was not that of a person drowned by suicide “said a source close to the Agence France Presse, confirming a report reporter Benedict Collombat published on France Inter. This doctor, now in his seventies, found that the body was “not flat, but rather knelt, and he showed signs in the back that can match those shots.”
Asked by Le Figaro on the many years of silence of this key witness, Ms. Marie Rose, counsel for the daughter of Robert Boulin, explains that “one can not compare completely different eras “. “In 1979, a professional who are made to understand that it should not decide and who is asked to leave the premises did not have a say. It was not the same outspokenness today. He was then prepared by forensic doctors we were dealing with a suicide, what did he have to say? Today, he describes what he saw but do not forget that he never made a finding on the body, “the council, adding:” It is established that this doctor was on call that day, there is no doubt about it. ”
Two men in the car of Robert Boulin few hours before his death
For Benedict Collombat, journalist from France Inter who specialized on Boulin business for over ten years, “the survey conducted in 1979 was truncated oriented immediately on suicide without actually explore the hypothesis of murder.” “Moreover, given the sensitive nature of this matter, it is not surprising that some witnesses are not out of the shadows thereafter. Only shots to be taken in this case. Now an investigation is reopened, these witnesses are now saying what they know, “says the journalist interviewed by Le Figaro.
A second witness, heard this winter the judge of instruction Versailles, also indicated to have crossed Robert Boulin on the day of his death, October 29, 1979, aboard a Peugeot. “A few hours before his death, Robert Boulin was not alone in his vehicle but with two strangers, one driving. These two people have never arisen from justice. Robert Boulin had no meeting scheduled, “says Ms. Marie Dosé’s lawyer Fabienne Boulin-Burgeat.
” This witness, whose identity we can not reveal, occupied functions which suggests he can fantasize, “says the lawyer, who also believes that the investigation of the Versailles will judge” the right way “. “It is truly there face a judicial independence, that we had not known before. There are advantages that the time has passed, the freedom to testify, “says Ms. Marie Dosed.
” The suicide theory does not materially holds more »
According to Benedict Collombat, author of a marked man: Counter investigation into the death of Robert Boulin , “drowning in a pond has never been proven scientifically.” The reporter for France Inter ensures that “many forensic evidence and testimony indicate that the minister was beaten and that his body was moved. The theory of suicide by drowning in 50 centimeters of water materially longer holds. “
He also considers it” very strange “the letters attributed to Robert Boulin and explaining his near suicide. “These are photocopies with some handwritten, but many people in the entourage of Boulin imitated signature. In fact, these letters are more like processed authentic written by “suicide letter”. This is a long argument in which Boulin denies any wrongdoing in a pseudo real estate deal which he is charged with a paragraph … “suicidal” detached at the beginning and end of the letter, “says the journalist.
“the old Boulin resistant threatens to expose some issues”
Passionate case Collombat Benedict recalls the reasons for which the Minister of Labour could be a target. “Boulin is the victim of a con man, caught by justice, which tries to drag in its fall. A case manipulated by the RPR to try to destabilize the minister tipped to succeed Raymond Barre at Matignon. To be heard by Judge Van Ruymbeke that instructs this “case” field, Boulin must obtain authorization from the council of ministers that will not grant it, as confirmed to me by Raymond Barre. Boulin even considering resigning. Faced with what he considered a political maneuver of his own camp, former resistant Boulin threatens to expose some issues on political financing of the RPR, French Africa and Gabon, “says the specialist.
After a dismissal made in 1991, a new investigation was opened in September, following a complaint by Fabienne Boulin-Burgeat, the daughter of the minister. She has always maintained that it was a political murder, not a suicide. “We remain hopeful that this instruction permits to remove, judicially and historically, the suicide theory,” said his lawyer, who asked further acts of instruction, including the declassification of documents.
