The name of the Bastia prosecutor, Jean-Philippe Navarre, was discovered tagged in Corte, followed by two symbols representing a suitcase and a coffin; all accompanied by a stylized Corsica. In the process, an investigation was opened for death threats. She is out of place at the Ajaccio public prosecutor’s office.
The inscriptions were traced on a prefabricated site located in one of the parking lots of the University of Corsica, specifies AFP. “I would be truly uncompromising in terms of criminal response, on this type of facts”Jean-Jacques Fagni, the attorney general at the Bastia Court of Appeal, told Agence France Presse. “If we identify the perpetrator(s), there will be coercive criminal proceedings. These are very clear death threats against a magistrate. This is unacceptable”.
The investigations are entrusted to the Corte gendarmerie research brigade.
-Prosecutors denounce attempts at intimidation
Furthermore, the national conference of general prosecutors (CNPG) and the national conference of public prosecutors (CNPR) denounce, in a joint press release, “attempts at intimidation” after the discovery of tags in Corte targeting the public prosecutor of Bastia.
“Once again, a public prosecutor, that of the Bastia judicial court, has been the subject of death threats,” write the national conferences of prosecutors in their press release, before “denouncing with the greatest firmness all the attempts of intimidation targeting both magistrates and all other authorities.”
“These unacceptable behaviors have the sole effect of strengthening the determination of public prosecutors to fight tirelessly against crime and acts targeting people holding public authority in the service of our institutions and our fellow citizens,” they conclude.
