Cédric Jubillar's lawyers filed a request for recusal against the two investigating judges. The courts have one month to make a decision.

This is an extremely rare procedure, Le Figaro learned from a source judicial. The appeal court can choose to appoint other investigating judges as she can decide to keep the two current investigating judges, the source judicial said. The 33-year-old young mother has still not been found. She disappeared on December 15, 2020 in Cagnac-les-Mines.
