Great verbal contests in perspective during questions to the government. The famous criminal lawyer Éric Dupond-Moretti was appointed Minister of Justice on Monday in the first Castex government.

Renowned for several dazzling acquittals that have earned him the nickname "Acquittator", the criminal has also played in recent films in several films as well as in a show alone.

Flamboyant and sour

Sometimes flamboyant, sometimes sour, Éric Dupond-Moretti is also a privileged guest of the media. He also had to keep a daily column on Europe 1 from September to speak on current affairs.

Notoriously opposed to the extreme right, the penalist has relatively few political commitments. However, he chaired Martine Aubry's support committee for the municipal elections in March 2008.
