Ian Bailey served with murder indictment by a French Court
Ian Bailey's solicitor has confirmed his client's been served with a murder indictment by a French court in connection with the death of film producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier in West Cork, 20 years ago.
The courts here have ruled that the journalist cannot be extradited, due to lack of evidence - but under French law the trial can go ahead in his absence.
Ian Bailey denies any role in the murder.
Solicitor Frank Buttimer says Mr Bailey was served with the court papers at his West Cork home - Press PLAY
