Dominique Tapie, widow of politician Bernard Tapie, has been crumbling in debt since the death of her imari.
The septuagenarian is forced to sell real estate and personal property to succeed in living.
Now, his debt amounts to 600 million euros and it is impossible for him to repay it.
When Bernard Tapie died in October 2021, his family inherited a colossal debt: nearly 600 million euros.
Since then, his widow Dominique Tapie has lived on less than 800 euros per month, the equivalent of her small pension, and has already sold many valuables, according to information from BFMTV.
The family had to completely change their way of life.
