Former mayor of Toulon, Hubert Falco, is accused of embezzling public funds. He was sentenced at first instance to three years in prison and ineligibility.
He admitted to having lunched for free in the canteen of the departmental council when he no longer sat there. “I understood that it was illegal in police custody,” he tells CNN. ‘I didn't have a fridge at the general council of Var,’ he adds, ‘and I had lunch among the staff’
