Eaubonne Care-Home Director Fired, Charged With Exploiting 98-Year-Old Resident

The suspect remains under judicial control pending a June trial.

Overview

  • The Pontoise prosecutor confirmed proceedings for abuse of weakness against the director, who is accused of diverting large sums from a resident in her late nineties.
  • Media reports cite about €200,000 allegedly taken and life-insurance contracts worth €600,000 changed to his benefit, with prosecutors saying the totals are of that order but somewhat overstated.
  • The case was flagged after the resident’s bank adviser noticed significant transactions and alerted financial intelligence services.
  • According to Franceinfo, the director cultivated the woman’s trust over years, arranged her admission in 2022, and obtained power of attorney over her accounts.
  • Clariane (ex‑Korian) has dismissed the director and says it will join the case as a civil party, and reports note he was previously judged in 2013 for abuse of trust.
