The mayor of Colmar Éric Straumann (LR) was sentenced Monday by the criminal court of Mulhouse (Haut-Rhin) to a fine of 5,000 euros. The case begins with the decision, taken just before the municipal elections of June 2020, to retroactively increase the compensation of his chief of staff Joël Munsch.
“I am going to appeal this conviction,” Mr. Straumann responded to AFP, believing that “the offense is not characterized. ”
