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.
