Paris prosecutors launch harassment investigation after deaths at Prime Minister’s office

French prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into alleged psychological harassment at the Prime Minister’s office in Paris, following a complaint from a staff member who attempted suicide. The inquiry comes in the wake of two previous suicides and another death among employees working in the organisation. The deaths have sparked serious concerns about working conditions and management practices within one of France’s highest political institutions. The investigation will examine whether staff members were subjected to systematic psychological mistreatment that may have contributed to the tragic incidents. French labour authorities and psychological health experts are expected to be involved in the inquiry, which represents a significant development in scrutinising workplace safety at the heart of French government.
