The statement of former Prime Minister Sali Berisha about the lawsuit filed against US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is already making the rounds.
One of the reasons comes from the profile of Berisha’s French lawyer who will “challenge” the State Department. Jean-Yves Le Borgne is a name by no means unknown in French public life, and not only.
The
described as one of the best criminalists in the country, the 70-year-old Le Borgne, who was born as a philosopher, turns to jurisprudence only in the 70s, and mostly in the role of lecturer.
Only in the 1990s did his name become widely known as a trade advocate, having failed in politics as the leader of a small party, the Union of the Republican Center (l’Union centriste républicaine), although he describes himself as a left goal scorer.
Many are his well-known clients, even internationally. From former Paris mayor Jean Tiberi, to showbiz personalities, to entrepreneur Carlos Ghosn, the architect of the alliance between carmakers Renault and Nissan, fired as group president after his 2018 arrest for financial abuse.
