The legislative elections never cease to be punctuated by cases involving the candidates.
Whether Damien Abad or Taha Bouhafs for sexual assault or more recently Léon Thébault for drug use, accusations are raining down on elected officials.
Rachida Dati (LR) sent a letter to justice implicating Gilles Le Gendre (LREM).
According to AFP, the Paris prosecutor's office dismissed these cases of moral and sexual harassment, no complaint having been filed.
Another accusation from the mayor of the 7th arrondissement relates to acts of non-denunciation of offenses or crimes and destruction of evidence.
The file is also closed without action for lack of infringement.
"It's easy to imagine the motivations of this self-proclaimed character witness"
Rachida Dati's report was based on an old union statement from parliamentary collaborators and press articles which denounced "the false allegations" of Gilles Le Gendre, the latter having claimed not to have been aware of accusations of sexual harassment aimed at deputies.
The former Minister of Justice saw it as a non-denunciation of an offense or even a crime.
"A few days before an election in a constituency of which I am the outgoing deputy and she, one of the mayors, support of one of my competitors, it is easy to imagine the motivations of this self-proclaimed character witness" , had castigated in a press release Gilles Le Gendre, candidate for his own succession in the 2nd Parisian district where his main competitor Jean-Pierre Lecoq, LR mayor of the 6th arrondissement.
Le Gendre says he has already been confronted with these rumors internally before coming out cleared.
