Mayor of Toulon Hubert Falco is on trial for embezzlement of public funds. He is accused of having continued to have lunch in the cafeteria of the Departmental Council when he was no longer president.
The meals were stored in a dedicated refrigerator that gave its name to the file: "Falco's fridge" The 75-year-old said how "critical" the stakes were for him, his lawyer said. The Criminal Court of Marseille should render its judgment around 17:00.
