He deplores a court decision which did not “sufficiently take into account the exculpatory evidence” and an additional sentence “much heavier” than the main sentence.
Enough to push Éric Cesari, former director general of the UMP (2008-2014) to appeal to the Court of Cassation in the Bygmalion affair, which earned him a sentence of six months by the Paris Court of Appeal on February 14 of prison sentence with modified sentence, accompanied by five years of ineligibility, for forgery and use of forgery.
“I cannot bring myself to accept this decision which, in my eyes, is unfair,” insists Éric Cesari, who has continually maintained for ten years that he was not responsible for the system of false invoices set up place to hide the explosion of Nicolas Sarkozy's accounts during the 2012 presidential campaign. A sprawling political-financial scandal in which the former President of the Republic was also given a six-month suspended sentence and which, from the February 14, decided to appeal to the Court of Cassation.
