Brought to the Toulouse prosecution on Thursday, she will be tried on June 18. A 50-year-old is suspected, with her husband, of having sold ten times their price for the protective masks against the coronavirus that she had previously purchased on the Internet.
This boss of a company specializing in the protection of people and property was placed in police custody Wednesday by the gendarmes of the research section (SR) of Toulouse. The masks in question are FFP3, considered to be the most protective equipment and which, since the decree of March 13, 2020, must be reserved for healthcare professionals and their patients. The company manager would not have complied with this administrative requisition.
A search at the company's headquarters
According to Le Parisien , the gendarmes of the center for combating digital crime spotted the ads published by this woman on April 2, before the SR of Toulouse recovered the investigation and a search was carried out at the headquarters of the company on April 6.
About 15,000 masks were bought in the United Kingdom for less than a euro each, and sold more than ten times more expensive before the decree of March 13, but also after, according to the daily.
