Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez has rejected the notion of a "phantom stock" of unreported child sexual abuse cases, a claim made by Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin following the Lyhanna affair. Darmanin's July letter to Nuñez criticized police handling of minor abuse investigations, citing prosecutor reports of abandoned or lost cases. Nuñez insisted on RTL that all files are processed and registered, dismissing criticisms of security forces as illegitimate. The dispute follows the June death of 11-year-old Lyhanna, which prompted Darmanin to prioritize child sexual violence cases. Nuñez plans to meet Darmanin soon to respond constructively to the prosecutors' observations.
