The investigating judges should soon issue an indictment order to effectively send Cédric Jubillar back to court.
A new stage in this very media issue. The Toulouse public prosecutor’s office requested in its final indictment the referral to court of Cédric Jubillar, indicted for the murder of his wife Delphine, who disappeared at the end of 2020, the Toulouse prosecutor announced on Monday, November 6.
Confirming information from the Dépêche du Midiprosecutor Samuel Vuelta-Simon declared that the final indictment had been rendered.
Pending charging order
One of the lawyers for the civil parties, Laurent Nakache-Haarfi, confirmed having received the final indictment from the prosecution. “If the prosecution has taken this indictment, it is because all the elements constituting the offense are present to send it back to the Assize Court,” he estimated, without further details.
Following this final indictment, the investigating judges in charge of the Jubillar case should soon issue an indictment order to effectively send Cédric Jubillar back to trial once his appeal options have been exhausted.
In mid-October, the parties were notified of the end of the investigation. The file was opened following the disappearance of Delphine Jubillar, 33, a nurse in a clinic in Albi, on the night of December 15 to 16, 2020, in the middle of a curfew linked to the Covid-19 pandemic. Her body has still not been found and her husband, a plasterer painter imprisoned since June 2021 who, from the start, has proclaimed his innocence, is the only suspect. At the time, the couple, who have two children, were divorcing.
