Prosecutor Seeks Five-Year Ineligibility for Orange Mayor Yann Bompard and MP MarieFrance Lorho in Fictitious Aide Case

The court will now deliberate, with the requested ineligibility to take immediate effect if ordered.

Overview

  • Prosecutor Louise Chrétien requested a suspended 18‑month prison term, a €10,000 fine, and five years of ineligibility with exécution provisoire for Marie‑France Lorho.
  • For Yann Bompard, the requisitions seek a suspended 24‑month term, a €15,000 fine, confiscation of €8,000, and five years of ineligibility.
  • The case centers on an alleged bogus parliamentary assistant post held by Bompard for Lorho from 30 November 2021 to 11 February 2023, with an estimated €75,000 loss to the Assemblée nationale.
  • Lorho is accused of misuse of public funds, while Bompard is accused of receiving the proceeds of that misuse.
  • The prosecutor argued that Bompard personally benefited and set his own working terms, distinguishing his responsibility from that of his former employer.
