[2] When Crémieux became minister of justice during the French Second Republic (1948–51) one of his first acts was to appoint Abbatucci substitute of the Attorney General in Paris.

[2] Charles Abbatucci was elected a deputy for Corsica in the National Legislative Assembly from 13 May 1849 to 2 December 1851 and joined the Bonapartist parliamentary group.

His father was made a senator and his brother Séverin Paul Abbatucci(fr) was a deputy throughout the Second French Empire.

[3] Abbatucci became his father's chief of staff at the Ministry of Justice, and was appointed Master of Requests (maître des requêtes) at the Council of State in 1852.

[2] During the French Third Republic Abbatucci ran for Corsica in a legislative by-election on 9 June 1872 to replace Charles Étienne Conti(fr), who had died in office.

There were protests about the election concerning administrative pressure and other irregularities, but the deputy Adrien Joseph Prax-Paris reported that it was valid on 20 March 1879.
