Press is stating investigation will be done by French defence ministry lending weight to the possibility this was not a civilian flight
The flight was a civilian one , the aircraft a civil one ( N-registered) , owned and operated by a civilian company (CAE) . so Annex 13 applies.
The French Defence ministry investigation is the normal administrative investigation done after any loss of life of one of its staff. This is not the one to be done according Annex13 by the Maltese State.
Wiggy :
but from what I saw France 2
France 2 TV was probably using info coming from Malta , in the meantime the Ministry of defense has confirmed it was their staff on a mission for DRM ( not DGSE as Le Monde is reporting, but possibly DGSE chartered the aircrfat long term and DRM was using it . DRM is the military intelligence unit.. .( Direction du Renseignement Militaire)
