About :
For this second issue of the "black box", I invite you to meet Benoît Collombat, an investigative journalist at Radio France, who described himself a few years ago in Le Monde as a "monk copyist of the investigation". Benoît is notably at the origin of the judicial revival of one of the most mysterious cases of the Fifth Republic: the death of Robert Boulin, then Minister of Labor under Raymond Barre, on October 30, 1979, at the end of Giscard d'Estaing's presidency. The politician was found with his head submerged in 50 cm of muddy water in the middle of a pond in the Rambouillet forest. Suicide by drowning after taking Valium, the judicial authorities concluded. "Murder", the President of the National Assembly, Jacques Chaban-Delmas, would say the day after the tragedy. It has been more than 20 years since Benoît Collombat decided to investigate this French cold case. In 2007, he published his work on the Boulin affair with Fayard: Un homme à abattre, with the following conclusion: the theory of simple suicide is no longer credible. His investigative work will finally lead the justice system in 2015 to look into the case again by opening a judicial investigation for "arrest, kidnapping and sequestration followed by death or assassination". And in 2022, a man came forward to the justice system in the Boulin affair. He says he witnessed a conversation that supports the theory of the minister's murder. According to him, members of the SAC, the civic action service, the unofficial police force of the RPR, often responsible for dirty work, mentioned "an accident". With Benoît, we will therefore discuss the behind the scenes of his investigation, his conception of journalism, his motivations for investigating such a case, and what it reveals about the "reason of state" and the gray areas of the regime of the Fifth Republic.
