The Paris prosecutor’s office announced that it decided to put in the Archive and not to give legal follow-up to complaints for practicing gynecological violence against her Chrysoula Zaharopoulou, a Greek-French womana doctor and currently Minister of Development, Francophone and International Cooperation in the French government.

The complaints were made in June 2022, in the middle of the pre-election period, by three female patients who accused the specialist in the treatment of endometriosis Zacharopoulos that when she practiced medicine she subjected them to painful gynecological examinations without their consent, accusing her – based on provisions of French Law- for rape. A fact that, among other things, caused the reaction of Zaharopoulou’s fellow gynecologists who considered the term “rape” inappropriate in the case of a gynecological examination.

After the preliminary investigation that followed, the Paris prosecutor’s office concluded that no offense had been committed and placed the case on file.
