Biography

His father was from Auvergne and his mother from Corsica.[3] During the mandate of François Mitterrand, he was the President's special advisor. He was appointed Minister of Budget in 1988.[4]

In his book Guerres secrètes à l'Elysée, Gilles Ménage linked Charasse to the hypothetical murder of François de Grossouvre.[5]

On 24 February 2010, French President Nicolas Sarkozy nominated him as a member of the Constitutional Council.[6]
