No: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not renewed the judicial approval allowing the Anticor association to intervene in court in anti-corruption cases. The previous approval having been canceled by the courts, “the implicit decision of refusal may be the subject of an appeal before the same administrative justice which will be able to rule on its merits”, specified this source.
Last June, the association had this approval withdrawn by the Paris administrative court. The cancellation was confirmed in November by the Paris Administrative Court of Appeal. The administrative court was seized by two dissidents from the association who considered the procedure for renewing the approval irregular and judged that the association did not meet the conditions required to be approved.
The association, created in 2002, is involved in more than 160 procedures including the attribution of the Football World Cup to Qatar, the investigation for illegal taking of interests targeting the secretary general of the Elysée, Alexis Kohler, or that against the Minister of Justice, Eric Dupond-Moretti, before the Court of Justice of the Republic.
