Stephane de Sakutin \/ AFP<\/span> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFour years suspended prison sentence, 375,000 euros fine and ten years of ineligibility were required on Tuesday, April 29, against ex-Prime Minister Fran\u00e7ois Fillon, in the case of the fictitious jobs of his wife, Penelope. The Advocate General’s requisitions thus dismiss the firm part (one year) of the four -year prison sentence which had been pronounced against Mr. Fillon, on May 9, 2022, by the Paris Court of Appeal. The hearing continued in the afternoon with the defense pleadings. The decision should be made on a later date.<\/p>\n
Fran\u00e7ois Fillon, 71, has been definitively guilty of the embezzlement of public funds since April 2024, but the Court of Cassation has ordered a new hearing devoted solely to the sentence, in this case which stopped its race for the Elys\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
Back Tuesday before the Paris Court of Appeal, Fran\u00e7ois Fillon spoke of the “Moral injury”<\/em> What does it represent for him the ineligibility sentence that had been pronounced against him, although he does not feed any project to return to politics. “No one will take it from my head that I was treated in a somewhat special way”<\/em>which has “Perhaps something to do with the fact that I was a candidate for the presidential election”<\/em>he said at the helm.<\/p>\nPolitical and media ordeal<\/h2>\n On appeal, on May 9, 2022, the former head of government was sentenced to 4 years’ imprisonment, including 1 year firm, 375,000 euros fine and 10 years of ineligibility for embezzlement of public funds, complicity in abuse of corporate goods, concealments. His wife, Penelope Fillon, had been sentenced to 2 years in prison suspended, as well as 375,000 euros fine, and his exupply, Marc Joulaud, at 3 years in prison suspended, with respective ineligibility of 2 and 5 years. The three defendants had also been sentenced to pay a total of around 800,000 euros in damages to the National Assembly.<\/p>\n
If she rejected the appeals of Penelope Fillon and Marc Joulaud making their definitive sorrows, the Court of Cassation, whose task is to rule on the background of the file but on the right application of the law, said that the court of appeal had not sufficiently motivated the firm part of the sentence pronounced against Fran\u00e7ois Fillon.<\/p>\n\nRead also |<\/span> Article reserved for our subscribers<\/span><\/span> Fillon case: the former Prime Minister seized the European Court of Human Rights <\/span> <\/div>\n Read later<\/span> <\/button> <\/p>\n<\/section>\nThe case had broken out in January 2017 with the revelations of Chained duck<\/em> Building for Fran\u00e7ois Fillon a political and media ordeal. Launched on the track of Ms. Fillon’s jobs, investigators heard from local gardener to local journalists, including former collaborators and prefects stationed at the time, without finding testimonies establishing the reality of Penelope Fillon’s work. Fran\u00e7ois Fillon will be eliminated in the first round of the presidential election, arriving third with 20.01 % of the vote.<\/p>\nTargeted by another survey opened in 2017 for embezzlement of public funds, Fran\u00e7ois Fillon had agreed to reimburse nearly 70,000 euros, corresponding to the salary and social contributions of an ex-parliamentary assistant, the writer and philosopher Ma\u00ebl Renouard, who had contributed to the writing of one of his books. Due to this regularization, the national financial prosecutor’s office had undoubtedly classified this preliminary investigation.<\/p>\n\n The world with AFP<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/section>\n Reuse this content <\/section>\n<\/p><\/div>\nTm-En-1<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fran\u00e7ois Fillon, at the Paris judicial court on February 27, 2020.
