A business leader tried in Caen for a tax fraud of 115,000 euros

The head of an accounting firm from Hérouville-Saint-Clair (Calvados) appeared before the Caen court on Tuesday.

A reduction in turnover or even a failure to declare company vehicles were in particular reproached to the defendant, who would also have passed charges relating to the private sector: a nautical GPS, door frames and an alarm for a dwelling.

The boss, who explained that he had reimbursed everything with penalties, assured that he had never wanted to "bias the taxman", advancing rather a "lack of vigilance".

Judgment has been reserved for February 28.
