The investigation into the management of the Covid-19 pandemic by the French government has concluded without any charges against former officials. The Court of Justice of the Republic (CJR) has not requested any indictments against former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe, and former Health Ministers Agnès Buzyn and Olivier Véran. The inquiry, which examined issues such as the lack of masks and the timing of crisis management, is reportedly moving towards a dismissal of the case. This development follows extensive scrutiny of the government's pandemic response, but no formal accusations will be made against the officials involved.
