The Mutuelles de Bretagne affair had its epilogue.
The Court of Cassation confirms this Wednesday the prescription in this highly sensitive file.
Suspected of having taken advantage of his functions at the head of the Mutuelles de Bretagne to allow his companion to acquire a building at a lower cost, the former president of the National Assembly Richard Ferrand was indicted.
The prescription retained, as recommended by the Advocate General during the hearing in June, logically leads to the extinction of the proceedings without concluding on the merits, in a case which has been pursuing this former pillar of Macronie for five years and earned him an indictment since 2019. Otherwise, the investigating judge would have continued his investigation before deciding whether or not to refer him to court.
Richard Ferrand, 60, was suspected of having used his position as general manager of Mutuelles de Bretagne from 1998 to 2012 to favor his partner, lawyer Sandrine Doucen, allowing him to buy a property in 2011 in Brest without spending a penny.
