He has been implicated in numerous scandals but has been exonerated from all of them so far. Whilst President of the Constitutional Counsel, the body argued in favour for complete judicial immunity for the President of the Republic - a controversial decision given Jacques Chirac's implication in numerous scandals as well as Dumas.

Dumas is a member of the Emergency Committee for Iraq. He is a graduate of the Paris Institute of Political Studies (better known as Sciences Po).
