Michel Deléan

Journaliste au pôle Enquêtes, j'ai rejoint Mediapart en janvier 2011, après avoir été pigiste à Libération (1986-1987), reporter spécialisé justice au Parisien (1988-1998), et grand reporter en charge de l'investigation au Journal du Dimanche (1999-2010).

J'ai publié plusieurs livres: "Un magistrat politique. Enquête sur Jean-Claude Marin, le procureur le plus puissant de France" (Pygmalion, 2015), "Qui veut la mort du juge d'instruction?" (Les Carnets de l'Info, 2007), et "Adjugé, volé. Chronique d'un trafic à Drouot" (Max Milo, 2011).

Declaration of interest

In the interest of transparency towards its readers, Mediapart’s journalists fill out and make public since 2018 a declaration of interests on the model of the one filled out by members of parliament and senior civil servants with the High Authority for Transparency and Public Life (HATVP), a body created in 2014 after Mediapart’s revelations on the Cahuzac affair.

  • Renault caught in a game of Chinese whispers

    France

    Renault was forced into an embarrassing U-turn this week over its sacking in January of three senior managers who it accused of selling industrial secrets to a third party. The company's CEO and chairman Carlos Ghosn has now confirmed that the accusations against the men were false, and has promised to restore "their honour in the public eye". Too little too late, say the ousted directors. But was the carmaker, which paid cash for information about the alleged treachery, the victim of a straightforward fraud attempt? Michel Deléan reports on the unfolding events.

  • The reasons behind the French magistrates' revolt

    France

    French magistrates took strike action and mounted street demonstrations earlier this month in protest at a singeing attack by President Nicolas Sarkozy on the judiciary's alleged responsibility in a high profile murder case. Angry over what they argue are woefully inadequate resources, and exasperated at repeated criticism leveled against them by the French government, many members of the judiciary have this week launched a ‘work-to-rule' movement set to strangle the proper functioning of French courts. Here, Michel Deléan and Louise Fessard question a wide cross-section of the profession to find out just what their daily grievances are.

Mediapart’s journalists also use their blogs, and participate in their own name to this space of debates, by confiding behind the scenes of investigations or reports, doubts or personal reactions to the news.
