The incredible story of the "Limoges chameleon", false lawyer arrested in court

2021-01-26T05:52:30.634Z


A fake lawyer who pleaded in twenty cases in France, was arrested at the court of Cusset (Allier) after a plea. I


A little patter and a lot of nerve.

Two character traits that can be found in some lawyers but which are above all the indelible signature of crooks.

No wonder therefore to have found Sébastien Buisson, 35, wearing a black dress and pleading in court in Cusset (Allier) last week.

Only the nerve is not enough.

And the “Limoges chameleon” was quickly surprised by his legal ignorance and his very relative eloquence.

He was finally arrested on the stand and must now find a lawyer, a real one, to face his new legal troubles.

Lawyer, communication expert, event agency director, Sébastien Buisson, 35, is all that and none of that.

What is however indisputable is that he is already under indictment for breach of trust.

Founder and president of the Red Nose, an association based in Limoges and present in more than 30 departments, he offered clown shows to sick children in hospitals.

And regularly launched appeals for donations.

Between 2014 and 2018, he is suspected of having embezzled 260,000 euros for his own benefit and for his relatives.

What his mother has always refuted, just like the main interested.

Joined by us, she did not respond to our requests.

“Taking selfies with clients is rare…”

Apparently, Sébastien Buisson is not disturbed by these accusations.

On January 21, around noon, he chatted quietly in front of the Cusset courthouse with his two clients.

Black dress under one arm, cell phone in one hand, “master” Bush is relaxed.

So much so that he indulges in a few “selfies” with his clients.

The scene surprised by the local prosecutor does not fail to challenge him: “When I arrived at the palace, I alerted my deputy that he was going to have an atypical personality at the afternoon hearing.

A lawyer taking selfies with his clients is rare… ”relates prosecutor Eric Neveu.

And like the show, the surprises are just beginning.

The lawyer for the opposing party is also surprised.

His opponent, this "master Buisson" claiming to come from the Paris bar, did not introduce himself to anyone.

"This is however one of the most basic uses in our profession when we come from outside", summarizes Master Karim Benalikhoudja.

But quickly the doubts replace the suspicions of any Parisian disdain.

"Clearly, he did not have the codes, did not master the jargon", summarizes the prosecutor.

Sébastien Buisson sees himself claiming his "conclusions", "documents from the file" but does not seem to understand.

And when the president asks him for his claims under "article 475-1", so that he can claim compensation for the costs incurred in the proceedings, his eyes widen, questioning.

“Yet it is the BA-ba in the profession.

And I will not tell you the level of his pleading, ”mocked Maître Karim Benalikhoudja.

He had always dreamed of being a lawyer ...

The latter, suspicious, slips during the debates, a small paper to the deputy prosecutor.

Only one word is written there with a question mark: "Lawyer?

“Intrigued, the substitute then plunges into the directory of the profession.

At the Paris Bar, no black dress bears this name.

It is by consulting the Internet during the hearing that he will find the answer ... and the previous “exploits” of Buisson.

Eleven convictions already in the criminal record.

End of the performance, the false lawyer is arrested in the very walls of the palace.

Placed in custody, Sébastien Buisson could not deny the facts, even admitting in passing that he had always dreamed of being a lawyer.

A dream that he seems to have already realized before Cusset.

He would have pleaded everywhere in France.

"We have already established that he had represented clients in around twenty cases in the territory, including one in Saint-Brieuc," admits prosecutor Eric Neveu.

Without arousing suspicion these times ...

“He's someone who likes to have the spotlight on him.

He likes to be the center of attention, ”said a legal source.

“He is very talkative.

He is someone very offensive in his way of defending himself, posing as a victim, ”testifies another legal source in Limoges.

Sébastien Buisson wrote this sentence under a photo of him on social networks.

“I never lose.

Either I win or I learn ”.

He is therefore learning for a while.
