Again, Where's the Bourguet Trial?

On a longshot, I just searched the Paris Match Web site for UN pedophile Didier Bourguet, who's supposed to be on trial in France for amassing a huge collection of photos of himself having sex with underaged girls in Congo. Here's what came up:

I'm no French whiz, but it's pretty clear that France's leading newspaper has no coverage and no stories about what would no doubt be a sensational trial ... if indeed there is to be a trial.

Update -- I'm just a blogger in my pajamas, so it didn't occur to me until this morning when I was all dressed up and ready for work, feeling much more professional and journalistic, to also search Le Monde for his name occurring anywhere in the paper in the last month. Same results, "aucun," or "no."
Aucun article publié "depuis un mois" avec le(s) mot(s) ou expression(s) "Didier et Bourguet" dans "tout l'élément" et classé par "pertinence".
So France's two largest papers have nothing to report on the UN's most heinous child exploiting Peacekeeper. It makes the promises of reform seem hollow indeed.
