• The Nouvelle-Aquitaine region confirms this Wednesday that several people belonging to the office of the president of the region in 2015 have been heard and will be in the coming days.

  • These hearings are taking place as part of an investigation opened by the National Financial Prosecutor's Office for embezzlement of public funds.

  • A former collaborator of Alain Rousset indeed accuses the management team in place in 2015 of having “made people pay with public money” for the regional electoral campaign that year.

Several people belonging to the office of the president of the New Aquitaine region in 2015 "have been heard and will be heard in the coming days at the police station in Bordeaux" indicates this Wednesday morning the community in a press release.

It confirms information from

Sud Ouest

, which revealed that four former executives of the cabinet of Alain Rousset (PS) were placed in police custody on Monday in the premises of the Economic and Financial Affairs Division of the zonal directorate of the judicial police of Bordeaux.

These people, including the former chief of staff, “respond to a summons as part of the preliminary investigation following a complaint against X for embezzlement of public funds” continues the region.

Almost a year ago to the day, a search was carried out as part of this investigation in the premises of the region, in Bordeaux.

" No comment "

This investigation had been opened following a complaint against X filed by David Angevin, a former collaborator of the regional president Alain Rousset.

The complaint was then forwarded to the National Financial Prosecutor's Office (PNF).

A cabinet associate from February 2015, the year of the electoral campaign, to February 2018 as Alain Rousset's "pen", David Angevin accuses the socialist management team of having "made people pay with public money" for the electoral campaign, by using the resources (offices, cars, etc.) and labor of employees in the region.

He then led a regional think tank on the digital revolution, from which he was fired "like a dog", he said in January 2020 after disagreements he said with politicians.

According to

Sud Ouest

, Alain Rousset himself has not yet received a summons to be auditioned.

“The Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region and the people concerned are doing everything possible to facilitate the work of the investigators, in complete transparency” further indicates the community, which adds that “no comments will be made.
