Inadmissibility decision concerning France
23/05/24
The Court has declared the application in the case Amar v. France inadmissible.
The case concerned disciplinary proceedings against the applicant, who at the relevant time had been Deputy Prosecutor at the National Public Prosecutor’s Office for Financial Offences (“PNF”). In that capacity, he had worked on several cases concerning former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, including on a charge of bribing a member of the Court of Cassation. On 26 March and 21 April 2021 the Prime Minister lodged a disciplinary complaint against the applicant with the Judicial Service Commission (Conseil supérieur de la magistrature, “CSM”), alleging that he had breached his ethical obligations.
