Not sure if this question has been raised, but I am wondering why a civilian prosecutor at this early stage have access to the CVR recording, and furthermore, why is he willing to tell the public about what the CVR contains?
I was of the impression that the CVR is BEA property until the investigation is completed, and that first thereafter a civilian prosecutor can have access to the information, and if needed raise a criminal case against someone.
Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses (BEA) - English Homepage
I was of the impression that there was waterproof doors between the safety investigation and the criminal investigation. Anyone cares to explain?
