Indictment in view of Marine Le Pen for having unveiled a judicial document

The President of the National Gathering, Marine Le Pen, said Wednesday that she was summoned by a magistrate to indictment for having published in September on Twitter a court order, which she estimated to be "A persecution".

This new indictment follows a first, relating to the publication, already on Twitter, of photos of abuses of the Islamic State group, a "dissemination of violent images" punishable by law, according to the prosecution.

However, the judge in charge of this case had, at the time of his investigation, issued an order of psychiatric assessment to Ms. Le Pen, as provided for by the texts in the matter of diffusion of violent images.

The far-right leader had rebelled against the process, denouncing a "method" used "in totalitarian regimes" - she had also declared that she would not "of course" go before the expert psychiatrist.

But Ms. Le Pen had then published, again on Twitter, in extenso, the document ordering this expertise.

In the process, a new investigation was then opened, entrusted to the Brigade for the suppression of the crime against the person, the law prohibiting the publication of a proceeding of judicial proceeding before a public hearing.

It is in this context that it was the subject of a convocation dated May 23 for first appearance for an indictment, scheduled July 16, according to a document that the president of the RN published Wednesday , always on Twitter.

"The persecution is starting again! I am therefore prosecuted for revealing the will of justice to submit to a psychiatric report for denouncing the atrocities of Daesh. These drifts become very serious, "commented Ms. Le Pen on the social network.

In the case of the dissemination of photos of abuses of the Islamic State organization, the prosecutor's office requested in early March the referral to a criminal court of Ms. Le Pen, and the Deputy RN Gilbert Collard, for "dissemination of images violent. "

It is now up to the investigating judge to order or not a trial for the two elected officials.

The boss of the RN is indicted in another case, the allegedly fictitious jobs of European parliamentary assistants, including for "embezzlement of public funds", along with several other political leaders of his party.
