The anti-corruption association Anticor has just lost its approval, which was not renewed by the government. The latter had until midnight, Tuesday December 26, to grant it. A decision that she intends to challenge in court.
It was through a lack of response from the government that the Anticor association understood that its approval was not renewed. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had until midnight, Tuesday December 26, to grant it. But radio silence from the Quai d’Orsay, which amounts to refusal. “We are not very surprised by the decision, because we know that this procedure is eminently political“, estimates Élise Van Beneden, president of Anticor.
Anticor involved in 160 cases
This approval allows the association to become a civil party in corruption cases. Since its creation in 2002, it has been involved in more than 160 cases. On the awarding of the World Cup to Qatar to the investigation? for illegal taking of interests targeting Alexis Kohler, secretary general of the Élysée, it also made it possible to reveal the affair of Alexandre Benalla’s Russian contracts. Today, this implicit refusal of approval shocks the entire political class. LThe association plans to challenge the decision in court.
