A media response but also a judicial one.
The television producer Gérard Louvin and her husband Daniel Moyne lodged a complaint in early February for "blackmail" against the nephew of the first, Olivier A. The couple has been the subject since January 21 of an investigation for "rape of minors" Daniel Moyne and "complicity in rape of minors" targeting Gérard Louvin after the filing of a complaint by Olivier A.
The two men accuse him in return of having "tried to obtain more than 700,000 euros" from them, because he "feared to have been excluded from the succession" of his uncle.
They had already issued this type of statement when denouncing the "cabal" which they believe to be the object.
An investigation was opened on February 17 by the Paris prosecutor's office.
According to their version of the facts, Olivier A. "spread in the media in order to destroy the reputation of the couple then filed a complaint for facts not only contested but obviously prescribed".
"They will soon be heard by the investigators concerning this complaint", welcomed Me Céline Bekerman, lawyer for Daniel Moyne.
At least two other rape and sexual assault complaints added to the file
The plaintiff's lawyer, Me Pierre Debuisson, said for his part that he had "no new comment to make for the moment, having already indicated that these accusations were ridiculous and only constituted a backfire" .
At least two other complaints from two other people denouncing respectively rape of a 15-year-old minor and sexual assault, were added to the investigation into the charges of incest, entrusted to the Brigade for the protection of minors.
Me Debuisson had indicated in early February that four other complaints had been filed for "rape" and "sexual assault" against the couple, and that other complaints would come.
The information was revealed by the daily Le Monde, some time after the publication by the lawyer Camille Kouchner of a book in which she accuses her stepfather, the political scientist Olivier Duhamel, of having raped his twin brother.
