Certainly not when they own a financial stake in the airframe manufacturer. BEA does just that, they share a stake in the future well being of a firm that thus far has been shown to be negligent in some areas related to AF447?
How do you work that out? How does the BEA, an independent government department, "share a stake" in a publicly-held international corporation that manufactures airliners?
By your logic, we should also be suspicious of the NTSB's neutrality towards Boeing (which, although nominally publicly-held, relies on government contracts to shore up the lean times in the civil market).
So please, provide some direct evidence that the BEA has any stake in the outcome of the investigation, or leave the subject alone.
