According to our information, the former chief of staff of Nicolas Sarkozy still had to reimburse 115,000 euros to the public treasury.


Have these last days spent behind bars in the prison of Health played the role of accelerator?

According to Claude Guéant's lawyer Philippe Bouchez El Ghozi, the former minister under Nicolas Sarkozy settled last Thursday all of the debt he owed to the Public Treasury, thanks to loans made by relatives.

According to our information, he still had to reimburse 115,000 euros.

A seizure of 3000 euros is taken each month from his retirement of about 5500 euros, an insufficient sum in the eyes of justice.

Thus, Monday, Claude Guéant, who will celebrate his 77 years next month, was imprisoned in the prison of Health as part of a committal warrant.

He had been summoned earlier in the day to the Paris prosecutor's office for the execution of sentences.

While after his conviction in 2017 in the case of cash bonuses (two years of imprisonment, including one suspended and probation), the former secretary general of the Elysee under Nicolas Sarkozy was to benefit a modification of the sentence, the penalty enforcement chamber finally confirmed the partial revocation of his six-month conditional release and his three-month partial suspension.

A request for release

The latter felt that the former secretary general of the Elysee under Nicolas Sarkozy was not repaying his due quickly enough. According to his lawyer, Claude Guéant would therefore have moved heaven and earth for three days to collect the required sum. Me Bouchez El Ghozi assures the Parisian that in the wake, Thursday, a request for an adjustment of sentence was presented to the judge on the grounds that the cause of his imprisonment would have disappeared. But, still according to the defender, no hearing has yet been set.

During his conviction, Claude Guéant, suspected of having drawn from an envelope intended for the costs of investigation and surveillance (FES) of the police, had also been fined 75,000 euros and a ban on practicing all public service for five years.

Between 2002 and 2004, while he was director of cabinet to Nicolas Sarkozy, Minister of the Interior, the Enarque had paid 5,000 euros each month, an amount in addition to a salary of 8,000 euros and compensation of 2,200 euros.
