“Game of Thrones” at the Geneva Courthouse

Should the prerogatives of the Geneva public prosecutor be restricted by depriving him of the presidency of the Commission for the management of judicial power and depriving him of his full membership of the Superior Council of the Judiciary? These questions, raised by a law project and no doubt exacerbated by the very dirigiste side of Olivier Jornot, are causing the fever to rise at the Palais de justice where a sort of remake of Game of Thrones. An internal poll reflects these divisions, even if a majority does not seem ready to turn everything upside down. The results of this consultation led the deputies, responsible for the floor on this fire and also torn, to recently set up a sub-committee to try to find common ground. Guaranteed atmosphere in the mysteries of this very sensitive debate.
