Criticism of the Meylan report Valérie Dittli defends herself with legal opinions

The article discusses criticism against the Meylan report, which accused Valérie Dittli, a state councilor from the canton of Vaud, of improperly granting a former commission president a mandate and paying him 10,000 Swiss francs in exchange for dropping a criminal complaint. The report led to a criminal investigation into Dittli. In response, Dittli commissioned two legal experts to review whether the Vaud government had upheld administrative procedure guarantees. Their report concluded that Dittli’s right to be heard was 'gravely violated,' citing insufficient legal representation, short deadlines, and a violation of her dignity. Additionally, there is another ongoing criminal investigation into whether Dittli misused her position, though a case related to breach of secrecy has been dismissed.
