The Public Prosecutor or the Principal Public Prosecutor may, by reasoned decision and even though no request has yet been made, decide to conceal information enabling the natural persons mentioned in the decision to be identified, when they are parties or third parties, to be concealed if their disclosure is likely to undermine the security or privacy of these persons or their entourage. In any event, this concealment is carried out when it has been decided, for these persons, in application of articles R. 111-12 or R. 111-13 of the judicial organisation code.
The public prosecutor or the public prosecutor may also, under the same conditions, decide to conceal certain reasons or identification elements if their disclosure is likely to harm the fundamental interests of the Nation or commercial or industrial secrecy.
