The author and her husband were on the set of “Quelle Époque” last Saturday, to present the book, a counter-investigation into the affair.
Master Goldenstein returned to this interview which sparked criticism for Léa Salamé.
“
Ms. Salamé did her job very well, the work of a journalist
,” he assures.
“Indeed, she threw my client off guard!

The lawyer continues jokingly: “
Dehavanne was a bit heavy-handed!

strongly criticized
“From now on, I will be present but silent.
» Following the shock interview in “Quelle époque”, Me Goldenstein decided to be at his client's side at each of her appearances.
The latter will soon be on the air in “L’heure du crime” on RTL with Jean-Alphonse Richard.
“
Here, I have a lot more confidence, he’s a real news professional, who does just that!”
“From the moment you consider that my clients do not support the media and legal truth, I am in on the conspiracy”
The lawyer also returned to the content of the book
Xavier, my presumed innocent brother.
“Obviously this book is conspiratorial,”
exclaims Maître Stéphane Goldenstein, without any irony.
“From the moment you consider that my clients do not support the media and judicial truth, I am in the conspiracy,”
claims the person concerned, then saluting the work of his clients to understand the “
gray areas
” of the investigation.
“
Christine and her husband worked on this case in a way I have never seen civil parties work on a case.

The media attention surrounding the affair gave rise to documentaries and adaptations into television series, which Mr. Goldenstein did not adhere to.
“It doesn’t fit, it’s very complicated to put on screen
,” he notes.
“
Even documentaries leave a taste of bitterness, since we don’t have the ending.”
He also denounces the lack of objectivity of some in the media, particularly around the supposed sect run by the mother of Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès, Geneviève.
“It’s automatic suicide”
The person concerned maintains that some would have taken advantage of the media aspect of the affair, to prevent sectarian movements in France.
The lawyer returns to a rumor surrounding Christine Dupont de Ligonnès:
“A totally hallucinatory element which was taken up is that she would have been thrown into a Catholic orgy”,
recalls the lawyer, before exclaiming
: “It’s incredible!”
After defending his clients, Maître Stéphane shared his feelings about the situation of Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès according to police theories.
The lawyer specifies that what he puts forward is only his personal reflection, based on
“nothing at all”.
“A father who commits a quintuple murder, who kills his children, behind it is automatic suicide,”
he declares.
Mr. Goldenstein questions the supposed flight which would have followed the murders of the Ligonnès family, before closing his remarks
: “We commit suicide in the process, we are not going to wander around.”
