(National-UAE) The home of one of the magistrates investigating rape charges against Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan was burgled last week, French media reported on Sunday.
Quoting an unnamed police source, French news website Europe 1 said a laptop with sensitive information had been taken during the burglary, which took place while the magistrate was on holiday. The device was said to have been turned off and was protected with an access code.
As well as the laptop, other missing items included silverware, jewellery and a games console.
Three magistrates have been assigned to investigating the case of Tariq Ramadan, who has been charged with raping two women in France in 2009 and 2012. He has also faced similar allegations in Switzerland.
