Former Mayor Acquitted of Drug Trafficking Charges After Prosecution Withdraws Appeal
Mélanie Boulanger, the former mayor of Canteleu in Normandy, has been definitively acquitted of charges related to complicity in drug trafficking, marking the end of a complex legal battle. The prosecution withdrew its appeal, bringing a resolution to a case that had cast a shadow over the former mayor and the small town.
Boulanger’s defense counsel, Antoine de Saint-Rémy, expressed relief
What impact do you believe legal acquittals have on public perception, especially in high-profile cases involving serious charges?
Given the serious nature of the initial charges, do you think this acquittal will fully restore public trust in Ms. Boulanger, or will the cloud of suspicion linger over her despite the legal resolution?
