Overview

• The Egaé report released July 9 records 12 additional accusations against Abbé Pierre, seven involving minors, raising the cumulative count to 45 testimonies.
• Criminal prosecution is impossible because Abbé Pierre died in 2007 and the statute of limitations has expired, leading institutions to adopt non-judicial remedies.
• Emmaüs and the bishops have agreed to fully finance a compensation program through the CRR and INIRR, with awards capped at €60,000 per victim when it becomes operational in September 2025.
• The INIRR has already begun compensating the first three survivors who came forward, while the CRR will open for new applications in the months ahead.
• As part of its transparency drive, Emmaüs has set up an internal research commission to examine past institutional failures, with its findings due in early 2027.
