Renowned French criminologist Alain Bauer, author of “The Truth About the Epstein System,” is advocating for a significant overhaul of France’s judicial structure. He proposes the creation of a national prosecutor, appointed by and accountable to Parliament, to provide stronger leadership and oversight. Bauer believes this is necessary to address systemic issues within the French justice system, drawing parallels to models used in other Western democracies. His call comes amid scrutiny of high-profile cases, including the Lyhanna affair. He suggests the current system lacks a clear, central authority figure capable of effectively managing complex investigations and ensuring accountability. This proposed role would function similarly to an Attorney General in countries like the United States or the United Kingdom, offering a more unified and politically responsible approach to prosecution. Bauer’s comments aim to improve public trust and efficiency within the French legal framework.
