Eyes to the sky, hand pressed against a heart that seems to be beating wildly, Thierry Bandrac does not miss a bit of the deliberations.
For him, the relief is immense.
After eight years of investigation marked by nearly four months of pre-trial detention, the former director general of technical services (DGST) of the town of Levallois-Perret was released this Friday from the Nanterre criminal court where he was was tried in mid-February for favoritism and concealment of misuse of company assets alongside his son, Mathieu, and four business leaders.
In this case, all of the defendants contested the accusations against them.
And all benefited from the acquittal: the 63-year-old civil servant, his son, and the entrepreneurs suspected of having rendered him a service in exchange for the public contracts that they regularly won in the former stronghold of the Balkany.
In particular those who intervened, in Normandy, on the restoration site of the Rubercy mill, a country house purchased by Thierry Bandrac in 2012.
