He will not go further. The Paris public prosecutor announced Thursday, June 27, that he discontinues the procedure opened for "false testimony" before the Senate commission of inquiry on the Benalla affair against Patrick Strzoda, the chief of staff of Emmanuel Macron.

The Paris public prosecutor notes that Patrick Strzoda "was able to carry out an incomplete description of the attributions of Alexandre Benalla during his hearing of 25 July" in the Senate but that he then provided a descriptive note of these missions on 10 October.

False testimony is punishable by five years' imprisonment and a 75,000 euro fine.
