dossier d'accusation

French to English Bus/Financial Journalism
Article in LeMonde.com about the Executive Life case. The passage reads:

'Dès février 2003, [le procureur] reprend avec acharnement son dossier d'accusation. Le 30 juillet, l'Etat, le Crédit lyonnais, le CDR (organisme public chargé de faire le ménage dans les affaires de la banque), la MAAF et 18 personnes physiques sont inculpés de 55 charges criminelles par un grand jury de 23 personnes.'

resumed work on his prosecution

Literally, "prosecution file", which also appears to exist.

<<The Jefferson County district attorney's office opened "prosecution files" on Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold after they were arrested for breaking into a van in January 1998. The two teens were admitted into a diversion program that would allow their records to be cleared.

They completed the diversion program in February 1999, two months before carrying out the Columbine shootings.

The prosecution files were brought up this month when a judge ordered the release of the diversion file for Harris. Klebold's parents are fighting the full release of the diversion file on their son.

Jefferson County District Attorney Dave Thomas said on Nov. 4, when he released the diversion file on Harris, that he did not release the prosecution file because no one asked for it and because he believed that a court order was needed. >>

<<The officer in charge of the case completes the prosecution file to the stage where the case can be dealt with for the first time in a District Court. He or she makes the decision about what offences the offender will be charged with

The prosecution file includes a recommendation by the officer in charge of the case on whether there should be a prosecution for the selected charge. The prosecution section officer reviews the file to see if there is a prima facie case and whether prosecution is desirable.>>
