Who Wants to Take Down Our Judges? We followed 3 investigating judges in the heart of their work. Because investigating judges are under threat. The Minister of Justice would like to see them disappear in favor of the Public Prosecutor's Office. We went where cameras are not welcome. Are investigating judges, supposed to be neutral, impartial, independent, living their last day?

Will those who took advantage of the system be punished by justice? What about those who created the system?

The Poisoned School? Two suspicious deaths, some Corsican vendettas, contradictory documents...: this is the tough investigation facing the Arlon Justice. We met with all the stakeholders in this case, and a double observation became clear: at the Arlon Technical Institute, two irreconcilable camps now face each other, and asbestos, the devil's dust as it's called, banned in our country for nearly twenty years, still scares everyone...
