France to probe 'failures' in rapist Dominique Pelicot case
Briefly

The Justice Minister has initiated an investigation into potential judicial failures connected to Dominique Pelicot, sentenced to 20 years for raping his wife, Gisèle Pelicot, and organizing her abuse for nearly a decade. The case, uncovered in 2020, led to revelations about Pelicot’s past arrests for similar offences and connections to unsolved rape and murder cases dating back to 1991. Despite evidence, key leads were seemingly ignored, and only recently was he charged in related cases. This raises crucial concerns about systemic issues in law enforcement responses to such egregious crimes.
Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin has ordered an investigation into judicial 'failures' in a shocking rape case involving Dominique Pelicot, who organized multiple rapes of his wife.
