- Alexandre Benalla has been indicted for a dozen crimes since he molested a couple of demonstrators on May 1, 2018, place de la Contrescarpe in Paris.
- A year ago, Mediapart revealed a series of seven compromising tapes for its defense.
- The former project manager took legal action to obtain the cancellation of these recordings, believing that they were "unfair".
" That's crazy ! We heard him boast on the tapes. According to our information, Alexandre Benalla failed to have the recordings revealed by Mediapart canceled and which lead to his defense in the investigations concerning him. The investigative chamber of the Paris Court of Appeal rejected this Tuesday morning his request, which had been examined in camera on February 4.
Present at the Paris Court of Appeal, one of the lawyers for the former Elysée project manager declined to comment. "It's a disappointment," said soberly, for his part, Christian Saint-Palais, the lawyer for Vincent Crase, the acolyte of Alexandre Benalla, who had made the same request.
