A decision which dates from October 2020. The actress Isabelle Adjani was indicted for fraud after the complaint of a former consultant who accuses her of having falsified the repayment of her debts to her, learned France Télévisions from a judicial source, Friday, June 24, confirming information from Release.
“I am not commenting on this old case which is heading for a dismissal because there is no charge”, told AFP his lawyer, Olivier Pardo. According Releaseit all started in 2011 when Sébastien G., a strategy consultant, was called upon to manage the actress’s company, Isia Films. “He opens a line of credit for her in her personal bank account, pays some of her taxes, gets her assigned an American Express card”says the newspaper.
But relations sour when Isabelle Adjani would have spent the money lavishly, according to the daily: “In July 2012, Sébastien G. withdrew his bank card, which seemed to function like a bottomless pit. Four days later, he was dismissed from his role as manager of Isia Films.” The actress then owes 157,000 euros that Sébastien G. would have advanced to her.
Sébastien G. filed a complaint against Isabelle Adjani in October 2015. According to the daily, the investigations would have shed light on the role of “Mimi” Marchand in the delivery of these false “proof of payment”. Because the boss of the Bestimage paparazzi agency, queen of the people press “Mimi” Marchand, whose real name is Michèle Marchand, is also being prosecuted in this case for complicity in fraud.
“Michèle Marchand was indicted in this case about three years ago, for facts that go back several years, five, six, seven years”, commented to AFP his adviser, François Blistène. “Sébastien G. had filed a complaint against Isabelle Adjani, who implicated Mimi Marchand. Since the indictment of my client, nothing has happened, neither real interrogation on the merits, nor confrontation with Ms. Adjani. This case will disappear on its own over time, and concerns random facts”he added.
