Return to prison for Marco Mouly.
The figure behind the carbon tax scam told the press on Wednesday that he was going to “go” to the Paris court with a view to possible incarceration in another case.
After having made it known that he wishes to “defy the police” by recalling his previous “on the run, in large hotels and palaces”, he finally went to the meeting which was set for him by the Paris prosecutor's office.
On March 8, the sentence enforcement judge decided to partially revoke Marco Mouly's probationary suspension of 18 months.
According to him, several obligations that had been set for him at the time of one of his convictions had not been respected.

In 2019, he was found guilty of having “exported community goods to failing Danish companies which resold to companies while being unduly reimbursed for VAT, to the detriment of the Danish state”, specifies the Paris prosecutor's office to Le Parisien .
Acts of organized VAT fraud committed between 1998 and 1999, when he was general manager of the company “Vendôme Trading”.
He was then sentenced to a 3-year prison sentence suspended for 3 years, with an obligation to provide proof of work or training, care, and payment of a fine of 15,000 euros. , in addition to the ban on managing and carrying out a commercial activity.
Unpaid fines and fictitious employment
The only problem is that Macro Mouly has not respected any of these three obligations.
“Barely more than 1,300 euros were paid before the hearing and already 2,100 euros during the deliberations, i.e. more than in three years,” the prosecution tells us.
“As for the obligations to work and receive treatment, the documents provided late by the convicted person did not convince either the prosecution or the sentence enforcement judge that they were actually fulfilled,” he continues.
Even more serious, some turned out to be false, particularly concerning his employment.
The person concerned held “a fictitious job” as a community manager, according to the judge, and “he provided the courts with false pay slips, against the backdrop of a well-oiled organization”.
At the same time, he indicated during an audition that he was working on a second book and had landed a leading role in a film which should be shot soon.

Although he was able to explain himself in detail and provided numerous documents and arguments, but the sentence enforcement judge ruled that they did not shed new light on the “major deficiencies” of the convicted person.
As a reminder, Marco Mouly had already been sentenced on appeal to eight years' imprisonment and a fine of one million euros in the so-called "carbon tax" affair, a vast VAT fraud on the market for pollution rights. .
With the other main defendants in the case, they were ordered to pay 283 million euros in damages to the State.
