The judicial authority shall communicate to the Director General of the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons, on request or of its own motion, any information obtained in the course of civil proceedings or criminal investigations, including when the latter has ended with a dismissal, of such a nature as to give rise to a suspicion that a person applying for stateless status or who has been granted stateless status falls within one of the exclusion clauses mentioned in Article 1 of the New York Convention of 28 September 1954.
