Five former relatives of Nicolas Sarkozy have been on trial since the morning of Monday, October 18, as part of the Elysee polls affair. As the events took place between 2007 and 2012, the former president enjoys presidential immunity.
In the case of the Elysée polls, the former secretary general of the Élysée, Claude Guéant, and councilor Patrick Buisson are suspected of favoritism and concealment favoritism. With Emmanuelle Mignon, they were part of Nicolas Sarkozy’s close guard during his presidency. Raymond Avrillier, environmental activist and member of the association Anticor, is also present in court. It was he who discovered this “poll drunkenness”. “I discovered 3000 poll invoices and above all, I see surrealist polls, particularly on the appreciation of rumors about the affair with Carla Bruni”, testifies Raymond Avrillier.
A frenzy of polls and millions of euros spent. Emmanuelle Mignon and Claude Guéant are suspected of favoritism and embezzlement through negligence for having ordered these surveys from the company of a close friend of the president, Patrick Buisson. Nicolas Sarkozy was not summoned by justice, he is protected by presidential irresponsibility. Claude Guéant believes that he deserves the same immunity.
