► Summary: The authors offer a critical study of the “collaborative internal investigation” in corruption cases settled by CJIP. After a typology of internal investigations (forensic audit, follow-up investigation, collaborative investigation), they analyse the roles of the French national financial prosecutor’s office, as supervisor and partner of the investigation, and argue that it should act as the guarantor of the integrity of the collaborative investigation so as to allow informed judicial review.
