The former general manager of a mixed economy company linked to the city of Marseille was sentenced on Monday for embezzlement of public funds. Charles Boumendil, 76 years old, was found guilty of having accepted the overvaluation of the compensation for the eviction of land on which the municipality of Jean-Claude Gaudin wanted to build an ice rink.
The 13,000 square meter plot was granted until 2008 to the company Laser Propreté managed by Philippe Lasery, who was opposed to an early departure.
