PARIS: French prosecutors said on Monday they are opening an investigation into ex-president Valery Giscard d'Estaing over allegations by a German journalist that he sexually assaulted her after an interview in 2018.
Stracke, 37, told AFP last week she had filed charges against the former leader, claiming he had placed his hands on her backside three times while they posed for a photograph together in December 2018, when he was 92. She took her case to Paris prosecutors on Mar 10 this year, backed by her employer which carried out an independent investigation into her claims.Stracke said on Monday she was pleased to hear of the decision, adding:"I am, of course, at the disposal of the French authorities in the context of this investigation.
The same action was allegedly repeated twice - once while a new photo was being taken and another time when the former president was showing Stracke photographs of himself next to other world leaders or family members.To get out of what she called a"very degrading" situation, she turned to a cameraman who toppled a lampshade to divert attention while placing a chair between the former leader and the journalist.
