Eric Zemmour kleptomaniac?

According to the "Canard Enchaîné", the presidential candidate did not pay for his purchases during a visit to the Bon Marché on February 27th.

He would have left the store without going through the automatic checkout stage.

And, it was not the first time that this had happened to him... 

Would Eric Zemmour have his mind elsewhere, just a few weeks before the first round?

According to information from the "Chained Duck", the former polemicist forgot to pay for his purchases after shopping at the Bon Marché on February 27.

It was only in the evening, after the check, that the hole was found in the store's checkouts.

The bill is €38.80. 

"There are no incidents"

By viewing the CCTV images, management realizes that the troublemaker is none other than Zemmour.

The store immediately contacts the party to demand payment of the bill.

Contacted by the "Duck", Éric Zemmour explained himself.

"There is no incident. It's pointless. I just forgot to pay. I left like that. The next day, one of the police officers in charge of my security went to pay €38 and a few. I reimbursed my policeman by giving him €40 and I told him to keep the change".

Zemmour, a repeat offender? 

Still according to the newspaper, this incident would not be the first.

A representative of the management assures that the same scene has already occurred at the checkout of La Grande Epicerie at the end of last year.

"He had been stopped dead by a security guard and forced to pay the bill," the newspaper added.
