“The Court of Justice is under influence”, deplores Eva Joly

For Eva Joly, former investigating judge at the financial center of Paris, former environmentalist MEP, the acquittal of the Minister of Justice Éric Dupond-Moretti, is “a wrong decision”, which was returned because he was a politician. Guest of 19/20 info, Wednesday November 29, Eva Joly argues that this decision fuels the idea that there is one justice for the powerful and another for popular citizens.

“The situation is not right”

According to her, the Court of Justice should be abolished. “Everyone felt the discomfort of the prosecutor who speaks in front of his minister in office. We can clearly see that the situation is not going well”assures Eva Joly, who finds that the Court’s judgment is “amazing”. The acts alleged against Éric Dupond-Moretti are indeed an illegal taking of interest, but the intentional element has not been proven. “Is it possible to be a minister and not measure the consequences of your actions?”, she questions. She concludes by saying that the Court of Justice is a “institution under influence” And “bad for democracy”.
