The case against French politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn, accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid in New York, appeared to be crumbling.
"Serious issues" had been raised about the credibility of his accuser.
"There's a general feeling of a media, a judicial fury -- of a lynching," Jack Lang, France's former minister of culture and education, told Europe 1 radio.
Interviewed on CNN Friday, Lang said he was very happy about the latest developments, and hoped to see his fellow Socialist party politician make a comeback.
"If the prosecutor and the court decide to declare the innocence of DSK, it will be a good day, a good day for Dominique himself, a good day for American justice, a good day for France and a good day for the Left," he said.
The very public fall from grace of Strauss-Kahn, who was forced to step down as head of the International Monetary Fund, prompted widespread questioning in France.
And it threw his Socialist Party colleagues into disarray, as they faced the disappearance from the scene of the man widely perceived as a frontrunner in France's presidential election next year.
A party primary is due in October.
