We will not read the prose of the inspectors of Finance (IGF) and Social Affairs (Igas) on the manager of Ehpad Orpéa, because their report is covered by business secrecy, according to the government. But the Minister Delegate for Autonomy Brigitte Bourguignon, who acknowledged receipt of it late Friday evening, considered that he was sufficiently charged to seize the public prosecutor on the basis of article 40 of the penal code.
The latter stipulates that any official or constituted authority who acquires knowledge of a crime or misdemeanor is required to report it without delay to the courts. The state is complaining, she said on France Inter on Saturday morning, “due to serious malfunctions in the organization and in the financial organization” at Orpéa. This does not go “until diversion”, she replied on the air.
