Hubert Falco appears again for embezzlement of public funds. He is accused of having benefited from free meals from the Var departmental council.
A fridge would even be reserved for the mayor of Toulon and his wife, with meals prepared in advance for evenings and weekends inside. In total, these private meals served to him would have cost the taxpayer at least 64,500 euros between 2015 and 2018, according to investigators. The former minister was sentenced at first instance to three years' suspended prison sentence and five years of ineligibility.
