Overview
- Cayeux received a 10‑month suspended sentence, a €100,000 fine and two years of ineligibility after an April 1 guilty‑plea hearing known as a CRPC that a Paris judge approved.
- Prosecutors said she understated her wealth by about €11.7 million, including a Dinard house undervalued by roughly €1.6 million and a Paris Place de l’Alma apartment undervalued by about €2.5 million.
- The transparency watchdog HATVP flagged her declaration in 2022, which prompted her resignation from the government and a referral to prosecutors that led to the case.
- Her lawyer said she accepts the court’s valuation findings and that she wants to turn the page.
- Reporting places the ruling in a broader crackdown, noting similar plea deals for ex‑officials such as David Douillet in 2025 for misdeclared assets.
