Overview

  • The Parquet de Bordeaux reopened a probe in late July to examine possible voluntary violence by Bertrand Cantat against his ex-wife following Netflix revelations.
  • Prosecutors cited new interrogation footage, medical records and a suicide note featured in “De rockstar à tueur : le cas Cantat” as grounds for renewed investigation.
  • Through their lawyer Me Tibor-Louis Leh, Rady’s parents condemned the reopening as excessive and stressed their wish for family healing.
  • The family holds a separate farewell letter that omits any reference to Cantat and instead points to a financial dispute as a motive for Rady’s death.
  • Four previous inquiries into Krisztina Rady’s 2010 death were conducted between 2010 and 2018 and all were closed without further action.
