France uses the "inquisitorial" judical system
"It's up to an "independent" prosecutor or investigating magistrate to distinguish between reliable and unreliable evidence. He or she has two missions: to endeavour to discover facts and represent the interests of the state. To discover the facts, he or she can interview complainants, witnesses and suspects in the case's preliminary phase, steering the investigation in one way rather than another". apparently

I wouldn't see this as a direct consequence of that.

Good job I was around to point it out then
(they are able to release information quickly because the judge who's job it is to reach a verdict leads the investigation)

Okay, you can look at it that way, though I must add here that I'm somewhat
familiar with a country where (in most parts) inquisitorial system doesn't lead to any
early info, in fact, you usually hear that they can't say anything, as doing so prematurely
would hurt the criminal proceedings/application of the justice.
