His cassation appeal was dismissed on Wednesday, Dominique Tian is therefore definitively condemned by the courts for “false declaration of assets” and “laundering of tax fraud”.

In October 2019, the Paris Court of Appeal increased the sentences handed down at first instance.

The judgment sentenced the former LR deputy to 18 months suspended prison sentence, five years of ineligibility and a 900,000 euro fine.

Dominique Tian, ​​now aged 60, who was then the first deputy of Jean-Claude Gaudin (LR), had lodged an appeal in cassation, considering that “this decision of the Paris Court of Appeal is neither fair, nor reasonable!

"

Accounts in Switzerland

The former deputy was tried for having "omitted" in his 2012 declaration of assets assets held in Switzerland, and for "laundering tax evasion".

Nearly two million euros had been stored for years in Swiss accounts hidden from the tax authorities.

The High Authority for the Transparency of Public Life (HATVP), created in the wake of the Cahuzac affair, seized the prosecution in April 2015.

When he was a deputy, Dominique Tian was engaged in the hunt for social fraud and had notably castigated in a parliamentary report the fraudsters to Assedic and the bogus unemployed.
