Thierry Pocquet du Haut-Jussé, Attorney General of Dijon, reaffirms his determination to "do everything possible to find out the truth" on the assassination in 1984 of Grégory Villemin, in an interview published on Saturday in the daily

L'Est Républicain

.

The magistrate, in charge of the investigation in this highly publicized affair, speaks for the first time on this file in which, according to him, there are "undoubtedly people who know things and keep them silent".

The Dijon Court of Appeal must say Wednesday whether or not it authorizes the new requests for genetic expertise requested by the parents of the child.

The Attorney General has issued requisitions favorable to these expertises which could relaunch the investigation and allow the truth to be revealed.

"The search for material evidence can always progress but, thirty-five years later, it is not necessarily the easiest to discover", tempers Thierry Poquet du Haut-Jussé, however, noting that in terms of testimonies "the Grégory file , this is the issue of silence ”.

A "delicate, old, complex" dossier

“I hope that one day someone will contribute to the search for the truth by saying what they can say,” he adds.

The Grégory case is “delicate, old, complex.

I think it is very important to remain very open to all possible hypotheses, ”underlines the magistrate, refusing to comment on the possibility of new indictments after the cancellations in 2018 of those of the husband Jacob and Murielle Bolle.

As for the expertise in stylometry mentioned for a few weeks and which would incriminate, according to the newspaper

Le Parisien

, a protagonist of the case as being one of the crows, the Attorney General notes that it has "still not been filed in the file, which is also not without questions ”.
