Overview

• Le Figaro reviewed documents obtained via a CADA request that detail expenses reimbursed to Eric Lejoindre since his 2020 re‑election.
• Europe 1 reports nearly €6,500 in dry‑cleaning charges and €1,248 for two lunches at the Hôtel Particulier Montmartre, including a €104 bottle of Château de Marsan.
• Invoices circulating on social media also show three children’s pizzas billed to taxpayers and a New Year’s hairdresser visit in Cagnes‑sur‑Mer, including a €5 tip.
• Lejoindre’s entourage characterizes the allegations as a politically driven campaign by Paris’s right, while the 18th arrondissement town hall did not respond to Europe 1’s queries.
• There is no publicly reported judicial inquiry into Lejoindre’s expenses, as the episode unfolds in the broader context of scrutiny over Paris officials’ spending, including a PNF file concerning Anne Hidalgo.
