A PROMINENT French magistrate could face disciplinary action after he allegedly stole a German colleague?s credit card to pay for a prostitute, having earlier delivered an hour-long speech on ethics.
..............
Yesterday a Justice Ministry official said M Hontang had gone to ?a place of pleasure where ladies hire out their services for between ?100 and ?300 depending on what they are offering?.
The first time he paid with his own money, according to the report.
The second time he is alleged to have paid with a credit card that he had stolen from a German prosecutor at the conference. ?He is being investigated for stealing the means to pay for activities that are a little shameful for a magistrate of this standing,? said a detective.
?Can you believe it?? a jurist who attended the conference told Le Parisien newspaper. ?He had been speaking on ethics for an hour.?
