French MP Andy Kerbrat Faces Probe Over Misuse of Public Funds for Drug Purchases

Andy Kerbrat, a deputy from France Insoumise, admitted to using his parliamentary funds for personal expenses, including drug purchases.

Andy Kerbrat, a member of the French National Assembly, was caught buying drugs and allegedly used public funds to finance his addiction.
An investigation by Mediapart revealed Kerbrat transferred approximately €25,000 from his mandate funds to personal accounts, with significant cash withdrawals.
Kerbrat has publicly acknowledged his addiction and misuse of funds, claiming he has since reimbursed the money with family assistance.
The President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, has referred the case to the assembly's ethics officer and may pursue legal action if allegations are confirmed.
Kerbrat has taken a leave from his parliamentary duties to seek treatment for his addiction, receiving mixed reactions from political figures.
