An elected centrist at the time president of a federation
According to the investigation site, it is a “centrist elected official” who was, at the time of the events she denounces, president of a federation of the New Center youth movement, including Damien Abad, then MEP , was the national president. “He does not see who it is,” his lawyer Me Benoît Chabert told BFMTV on Tuesday. “The facts that are mentioned in a press article are false and he strongly disputes them,” he said, saying his client was “totally innocent”.
Solicited Wednesday by AFP, Me Chabert did not wish to speak. On Monday, the minister again challenged the charges and announced that he was filing a complaint for slanderous denunciation. “It’s an attempt to intimidate other victims,” reacted to AFP Me Raphaële Bialkiewicz, the complainant’s lawyer, assuring that the latter was “serene”. The investigations for attempted rape were entrusted to the brigade for the repression of delinquency against the person (BRDP).
