La justice française va enquêter sur Fabrice Leggeri, ancien directeur de Frontex et actuel eurodéputé RN, pour complicité de crimes contre l'humanité et de torture. La Ligue des droits de l'homme (LDH) a déposé plainte en 2024, l'accusant d'avoir encouragé des refoulements illégaux de migrants et d'avoir privilégié une politique d'obstruction à l'entrée des migrants dans l'UE, au prix de vies humaines. La cour d'appel de Paris a décidé le 18 mars d'ouvrir une information judiciaire suite à cette plainte. L'enquête portera sur la responsabilité pénale éventuelle de Leggeri dans les milliers de morts de migrants en Méditerranée depuis 2014. Leggeri a dirigé Frontex de 2015 à 2022.
