Overview

• Prosecutor Audrey Quey asked the court to impose five years in prison for Gaël Perdriau, with two years suspended (three years to be served, non‑aménageable), a €50,000 fine and five years of ineligibility with immediate effect.
• Quey portrayed Perdriau as the operation’s decision‑maker who “validated the trap,” describing a “mafieuse” organization and saying he was “the one with a hand on the nuclear switch.”
• Requested penalties for others include one year firm for ex‑chief of staff Pierre Gauttieri (to be served at home under electronic monitoring) and two years firm each for Samy Kéfi‑Jérôme and Gilles Rossary‑Lenglet.
• The prosecutor sought acquittal for two couples who led local associations accused of channeling municipal grants, arguing they were deceived, while testimony alleged the plot was financed via two €20,000 subsidies re‑routed to a participant.
• Perdriau denies orchestrating the scheme, acknowledges only knowing of the video’s existence, and says he will resign if convicted; defense arguments follow before the court deliberates its verdict.
