PARIS (Reuters) - Police suspect a French prosecutor of paying a prostitute with a stolen credit card just hours after addressing a conference on ethics, a Justice Ministry source says.
The source said the prosecutor could be suspended and might face disciplinary procedures.
He gave no further details, but Le Parisien newspaper reported on Monday the prosecutor from southwestern France presented a paper on the ethics of his profession at a conference in Germany in May before visiting the brothel and paying with a credit card which investigators suspect was stolen from a colleague.
