Ten years after the events, Christian Duval intends to plead for acquittal and denounces a poorly put together case. In 2014, the director of the IEP of Aix-en-Provence resigned, accused of having issued false diplomas as part of massive outsourcing of training.
The affair caused a lot of noise, to the point that the Minister of National Education at the time was forced to get involved. The former director of Sciences Po Aix appears this Wednesday in the so-called "phony diplomas" affair.
