Rachida Dati's estate: where did the 420,000 euros worth of jewelry donated by Henri Proglio go?

The publication of ministers' declarations of assets and interests had been postponed and delayed, as successive changes of government, as well as early European and parliamentary elections, hampered the activities of the High Authority for Transparency in Public Life (HATVP) in 2024. Created in 2013 after the Cahuzac scandal, this independent authority was overwhelmed last year by more than 13,000 declarations from ministers and public officials to be verified (compared to 8,800 in 2023), while it has only 75 employees who can investigate with the tax authorities, without benefiting from the intrusive powers of the judicial police.

But in any case, the work of transparency is accomplished, and the assets of François Bayrou's ministers were made public on Tuesday, June 10. Surprise: Rachida Dati's assets have grown by some 400,000 euros since she joined Gabriel Attal's government in January 2024, we learn by deciphering her two asset declarations filed on February 5 and March 21, 2025, the last to be made public.
