The Paris public prosecutor's Office, initially before a preliminary inquiry, had not seen fit toperform this request.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Investigators quickly obtained two faxes, classified "confidential", directed by Counterintelligence to Orange. They are both signed by the Divisional Commissioner Stéphane Tijardovic, of the DCRI. The first of them, dated July 19, 2010, claiming the detailed phone bills related to the mobile phone of Gérard Davet. The DCRI, led by Bernard Squarcini, a very close deemed officer of Nicolas Sarkozy, then wanted to obtain details of telephone communications passed by our collaborator between 12 and 16 July 2010.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>These requisitions were issued just after the revelation by Le Monde, dated 18-19 July, the content of the statements to the police of Patrice de Maistre, Liliane Bettencourtconfidence man.

The Elysee was moved from these "leaks" in the press.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The DCRI has therefore, as early as July 19, the detailed phone bills of Gérard Davet containing the number of all its correspondents, the time of all its incoming and outgoing calls and their Geolocation.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>OUT ANY PROCEDURAL FRAMEWORK<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Is that in a second time that police make a second request to Orange, on 21 July, claiming the list of calls made by David Senate, Advisor technical of the former keeper of the seals Michèle Alliot-Marie. The latter, on the basis of the first technical expertise, is suspected ofbeing the source of the World. Its fadettes are considered, from 12 to 19 July 2010.

Davet and Senate is done outside any legal framework. In the revelation of the case, Frédéric Péchenard, Director General of the national police (DGPN), had referred, in a press release on September 13, 2010, "a brief and timely technical verification" on the notebook of Mr. Senate. The DGPN was entrenched behind section 20 of the Act of 10 July 1991 on interceptions of security. However this section 20 applies only for "defence of national interests" and excludes any search for "communications provided to individuals" as the fadettes. Moreover, the DCRI acted out any procedural framework, having informed that on 2 September the Prosecutor's Office of Paris of his initiative.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The world had revealed the case, in fall 2010, ensuring, at the end of a thorough investigation, that the Elysee had given the order to end leaks in the case of Bettencourt.

"The objective of the DCRI, do not follow the journalists." Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, then Secretary of State for the digital economy, spoke, with regard to the surveillance of journalists, "of an old French fantasy" by "the media".
