“The investigation will tell the things”

The Minister of Sports, who claimed a few days ago that she had not triggered the audit out of simple desire but because it was necessary to react urgently to shocking media revelations added: “We did our job which was to listen to a number of people who had testimonies. More than 115 auditions were carried out, a thorough, methodical, coherent, rigorous work. It was the prosecutor who, in view of the elements transmitted to him, in application of this obligation to report, decided that there was reason to open an investigation for acts of moral and sexual harassment. The investigation will tell. The mission (of inspection, editor’s note), it evokes comments and text messages emanating from Mr. Le Graët, ambiguous for some and of a clearly sexual nature for others “.

A very cold call

Complicated relationships between Le Graet and the Minister of Sports. Amelie Oudea-Castera even called the Breton on Monday before the latter answered him curtly “Hello Madam Minister, later, please” before hanging up.
