Trial of the European parliamentary assistants of the MoDem: the judgment of François Bayrou delivered Monday February 5 – (france 3)
Suspected of fictitious jobs, the founder and president of the centrist party will be fixed on his political future, Monday February 5, while justice will pronounce its judgment as well as that of several executives of the MoDem, in the case of the European parliamentary assistants of the left.
While the prosecution requested three years of ineligibility and three years in prison against François Bayrou, leader of the centrist MoDem party, it should deliver its judgment on Monday February 5. His political future, as well as that of ten other party executives, will be decided at the Paris judicial court. MoDem elected officials are being prosecuted for complicity or concealment of embezzlement of public funds.
30 months in prison and 3 years of ineligibility
The courts accuse them of having made their parliamentary assistants, paid by European funds, work only for their MoDem party, between 2005 and 2012. François Bayrou was forced to resign from his post as Minister of Justice in 2017, during the opening of the preliminary investigation. Prosecutors demand 30 months suspended prison sentence for the centrist, as well as a 60,000 euro fine and 3 years suspended ineligibility.
