Abstract

The article focuses on the corruption charges against Didier Linotte, a former top judge in Monaco, related to a €137 million court-ordered payout to a developer for a canceled land-reclamation project. Linotte, who led Monaco's Tribunal Suprême until 2023, faces accusations of money laundering and passive corruption, and he has been ordered to remain in Monaco during the investigation. His lawyer asserts that the ruling was made collaboratively with other qualified judges based on expert evaluations. This case arises amid ongoing political challenges for Monaco's Prince Albert II, including the city-state's recent inclusion on a global watchdog's "gray list" for insufficient measures against illicit financial activities.
