Senator Joël Guerriau, suspected of having drugged a member of parliament, will be presented to a judge with a view to possible indictment, franceinfo learned Friday November 17 from his lawyer. A judicial investigation has been opened. The prosecution also requested that the senator be placed under judicial supervision.
A confrontation took place on Friday between the elected representative of Loire-Atlantique and the MP. This meeting allowed Joël Guerriau “to strongly confirm his version of the facts which does not allow at this stage of the investigation to characterize any offense”his lawyer Rémi-Pierre Drai told franceinfo.
The 66-year-old elected official is suspected of having “administered to a person, without their knowledge, a substance likely to impair their discernment or control of their actions to commit rape or sexual assault”.
