Time for Jornot to Take Leave?

To: Olivier Jornot Attorney General of Geneva Geneva Public Prosecutor’s Office

Cc: Christian Coquoz President, Superior Council of the Judiciary

Date: November 26, 2024

Dear Attorney General Olivier Jornot,

I am writing to request immediate transparency and measures regarding the manifest breaches of procedural fairness and confidentiality in case P/17792/2021, in which I am both the complainant and the defendant. My concerns are substantiated by recent evidence highlighting significant irregularities, as detailed below.

1. Transmission of Sensitive Communications

It has come to my attention that sensitive and confidential communications related to my case, including critically relevant attachments, have been inappropriately forwarded to prosecutor?Clement Emery (whose father is implicated), including with prosecutor?Lorena Henry copied. These actions constitute a serious breach of confidentiality and procedural integrity, in violation of the following legal provisions:

• Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (FADP): Unauthorized sharing of personal or sensitive data without a legal basis is prohibited.
• Swiss Criminal Code (Art. 320): Breaches of official secrecy by judicial actors are explicitly criminalized.
• European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), Art. 6: The right to a fair trial is violated when procedural fairness and impartiality are compromised.

I demand immediate clarification regarding:

1. Who authorized the forwarding of these communications and for what purpose.
2. Why such a blatant breach of confidentiality was allowed within your jurisdiction.
3. The steps being taken to hold those responsible accountable for this apparent misconduct.

2. Prosecutor Lorena Henry

Prosecutor Lorena Henry, the second prosecutor in this case, has already admitted that her forced appointment of state lawyers was unjustified. This constitutes a direct violation of procedural fairness under:

• Swiss Criminal Procedure Code (Art. 56): Guarantees impartiality and prohibits bias in judicial processes.
• ECHR, Art. 6: The forced appointment of state lawyers under such circumstances compromises the defendant’s right to an independent and impartial tribunal.

Moreover, Prosecutor Henry has failed to respect the correct appeals process. By validating her own decisions, which amounts to “marking her own homework,” she has further undermined the legitimacy of the judicial process. I formally request:

• Her immediate recusal from this case.
• The striking out of all her decisions, including her allegedly baseless criminalization of me, including on the basis of outdated and irrelevant evidence.

3. Evidence of Collusion and Procedural Failures

Having reviewed thirteen files at the Court of Justice, I am deeply troubled by the evidence overwhelming number of procedural faults and apparent collusion between your courts. These files reflect so poorly on your institution that I am surprised you have not been forced to resign. These include, but are are far from limited to:

• Unexplained delays in addressing my criminal complaints, dating back to 2013, which were filed in P/17792/2021 before the complaints raised by the International School of Geneva (Ecolint) - in spite of my concerns about the safety of my family.
• Alleged systemic procedural failures involving key judicial actors, including Prosecutor Judith Levy Owczarczak, Prosecutor Lorena Henry, Judge Daniela Chiabudini, and Judge Sabina Mascotto.
• The apparent influence of politically connected individuals?on the impartiality of proceedings.
• The authorization by the Ministère public for forced state appointed lawyers Stephen Street and Nehanda Mauron-Mutambirwa to be paid from the public purse (legal aid) in spite of the apparent illegitimacy of their mandates.
• Alleged legal corruption and lawyer apparently being either unwilling or unable to independently represent my best interests, many of them seemingly actively working against my best interests.
• The 'presidential' classifying of complaints about the Ecolint lawyer, Francoise Markarian.
• Failures to address apparently criminal child protection failures or disclosures of alleged stalker harassment and financial and pensions concerns at Ecolint.?
• Failures to address the alleged persistent retribution against my family dating back to 2013, including in Geneva private schools and in spite of national and international interventions.

4. Persistent Refusal to Provide Data and Updates

Despite numerous requests, your office has failed to provide updates on the status of my criminal complaints, including relating to records held in several jurisdictions. This constitutes a failure to meet your obligations under both Swiss and international law, including:

• Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (FADP): My right to access personal data related to my case.
• ECHR, Art. 13: The right to an effective remedy when a right has been violated.

5. Appeal Against Criminalization

I attach to this letter my appeal against my unjust criminalization, which highlights the systemic procedural flaws and violations of law that have characterized the handling of this case. The persistent failure to address these issues only deepens the perception of collusion and judicial bias within your office.

Summary of Requests

1. Immediate Transparency: Provide a full explanation of who authorized the forwarding of sensitive communications to Clement Emery and other recipients.
2. Recusal of Prosecutor Henry: Given her admitted procedural errors and breaches, Henry must recuse herself, and all her decisions must be struck out.
3. Investigation into Collusion: Conduct a thorough and independent investigation into systemic procedural failures and collusion within your courts.
4. Updates on Criminal Complaints: Provide a detailed update on the status of my criminal complaints, dating back to 2013.
5. Immediate Action on Breaches: Ensure accountability for breaches of confidentiality under the FADP, SCPC, and ECHR.

Should you fail to provide transparency or take corrective action, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter to higher authorities, including the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).

Finally, I urge you to reflect on the gravity of these issues and their implications for the integrity of the Geneva judicial system. The evidence now publicly available casts a shadow over your office and demands immediate and decisive action to restore trust.

Yours sincerely,

Susan Britton
