French Interior Ministry blocks probe of Charlie Hebdo-Hyper Cacher attacks

(8.10.2015) In September, the Médiapart news web site revealed that Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve cited the state secrets privilege to block an investigation of the attack on the Hyper Cacher kosher grocery that took place at the same time as the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo, on January 7.

The silence of French media and political parties on this issue is deafening. However, it is easy enough to confirm the report, by consulting the text of Cazeneuve’s decision, discreetly inscribed in the Official Journal of the French Republic on June 18.
