Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne decided to "
follow the opinion of the Superior Council of the Judiciary
" which considered that there was "
no
need " to sanction two magistrates of the national financial prosecutor's office suspected of "
breaches
" in the affair of the "fadettes".
The decision, which fell to the head of government, balances the proceedings initiated by the Keeper of the Seals Eric Dupond-Moretti shortly after his entry into the government when he had been targeted as a lawyer by telephone records ("fadettes" ) ordered by these magistrates in an instruction, which has now earned him prosecution for "
illegal taking of interest
".
