“Je viens d’être entendue par les magistrats de la Cour de Justice de la République dans un dossier complexe et ancien qui a opposé les liquidateurs du Groupe Tapie au Crédit Lyonnais pendant près de 20 ans.
Dans ce dossier complexe, mes explications ont permis d’apporter les réponses aux doutes qui avaient été soulevés sur les décisions que j’ai prises à l’époque sur ce dossier.
Mon statut de témoin assisté n’est pas une surprise puisque j’ai toujours agi dans l’intérêt de l’Etat et dans le respect de la loi.
Je retourne dès ce week-end à Washington pour me consacrer entièrement à ma mission à la tête du FMI et continuerai à tenir mon conseil d’administration informé.”
