Summary:
Monaco’s Mayor Georges Marsan announces that he will file a complaint regarding the disclosure of information from his ongoing investigation.
Full Story:
Georges Marsan, the Mayor of Monaco, held a press conference to announce that he will be filing a complaint. This comes one week after resuming his duties as mayor and following his arrest and ongoing indictment. It was his first public statement since his official reinstatement on April 8th. Marsan was accompanied by Camille Svara, the First Deputy, Marjorie Crovetto, the Second Deputy in charge of the Environment and Sustainable Development, and members of the communal council.
During the conference, Marsan expressed gratitude, particularly to Camille Svara for her determined and humble leadership as interim mayor. He also emphasized the historical resilience and constancy of the institution, stating that it remains unaffected by destabilization. Marsan made it clear that he intends to continue defending himself, declaring that he has nothing to reproach himself for and will seek to establish his innocence.
One source of discomfort for Marsan is his inability to interact with the merchants in the Condamine market, given his role as a pharmacist in the same area. He views this as a personal rather than professional inconvenience. Marsan also expressed concern about the leaking of information to the press, considering it a violation of the presumption of innocence and a hindrance to the investigation. He plans to file a complaint against the unknown source of the leaked information, accusing them of divulging the secrecy of the investigation and infringing on the presumption of innocence.
In conclusion, Marsan assured that this is not a new beginning but a continuation of the mandate that the Monégasques have been awaiting. He remains restricted from any contact with individuals awaiting questioning by the police. The investigation is ongoing.
