Overview
- The Toulouse prosecutor’s office closed without further action the inquiry into alleged witness tampering and repeated malicious calls, citing offenses not sufficiently characterized.
- Cédric Jubillar attempted multiple calls to his recent ex-partner on September 4 and left the message, “Réponds quand je t’appelle. Tu as peur de quoi ?,” which her lawyer described as intimidating.
- Jubillar denies confessing to this ex-partner and maintains his innocence, though she and a former cellmate have publicly reported detailed admissions that investigators recorded earlier.
- TF1 broadcast the ex-partner’s account and the former cellmate’s statements ahead of the assizes, where these claims are expected to be tested in court.
- The trial is scheduled to open on September 22 in Albi for four weeks, and a deceased neighbor’s testimony from 2020 will be read to the court, according to La Dépêche.
