Frank Berton

Frank Berton (born June 4, 1962) is a French attorney best known for his work with L'affaire d'Outreau (the Outreau trial) and the November 2015 Paris attacks.

Berton has been hailed, "défense des français à l'étranger" or defender of French citizens abroad.

[7] Cottrez claimed that the children were born as a result of incest without her consent by her own father, which is why she ended their lives.

Berton made many public appearances during the trials and even invited to interviews with news sources like, France Info.

[12] This case is increasingly notable for Berton because in the face of incredible hatred and blame from the public towards Salah Abdeslam, he stood firm in his opinion that until a person is found guilty, he still deserves the right of a defense.

[13] Salah Abdeslam was held in custody with 24/7 surveillance, and this led to his refusal to talk to anyone, including his lawyers, in protest.

[14] On the 20th of March, 2013, four French citizens were arrested in Punta Cana International Airport in the Dominican Republic.

Berton has given some insight into the contents and has revealed that his work on high profile cases, like with Salah Abdeslam, will be detailed.
