Court Confirms Cédric Jubillar Appeal Will Be Heard in Toulouse

A preparatory meeting with counsel will determine the schedule for the high-profile retrial.

Overview

  • The Toulouse court said the appeal will be held before the Haute-Garonne assize court at the Palais de justice in Toulouse.
  • Prosecutor General Nicolas Jacquet and Court of Appeal President Chantal Ferreira announced the venue in an official statement.
  • The opening date and expected duration have not been set, with a planning session to be convened to fix both.
  • Cédric Jubillar has replaced his legal team with Me Pierre Debuisson, who says the defense intends to change strategy.
  • Jubillar was sentenced in October 2025 to 30 years based on a bundle of circumstantial evidence in a case with no body or confession, and the court plans adapted arrangements so the public and press can follow the appeal.
