The Paris Criminal Court on Wednesday sentenced the former UDI deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis Jean-Christophe Lagarde to a ten-month suspended prison sentence for having provided his mother-in-law with a fictitious job as a parliamentary assistant between May 2009 and August 2010.
The former centrist parliamentarian (2002-2022), aged 55, was guilty of embezzlement of public funds for having paid the mother of his wife, Monique Escolier-Lavail, nearly 40,000 euros in wages as part of of an “atypical, hidden” contract, considered the court in its deliberation.
