A newly appointed female minister in French president Emmanuel Macron’s new government is under investigation for rape, it emerged today
Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, the 46-year-old Secretary of State for Development, is the subject of two complaints from a woman who cannot be named for legal reasons.
It follows a series of sex scandals in the Macron administration – ones which have led to accusations that the head of state is too relaxed about serious criminal allegations and refuses to sack those involved.
