Overview

• Jeanne d'Hauteserre said Tuesday she will refer her case to the City of Paris ethics commission to reimburse representation spending tied to clothing purchases from 2020 to 2024.
• The expenses total €35,779.65 and were charged to a monthly representation allowance, which she previously described on BFMTV as €990 per mayor.
• Her televised defense that she chose to buy clothes to be "well dressed" prompted sharp reactions from political figures and local residents.
• Reporting notes the spending was permitted under current rules, yet any repayment may face legal or administrative limits and would depend on the commission's approval.
• The disclosure comes as scrutiny extends to other Paris officials, including Anne Hidalgo and Éric Lejoindre, with City Hall signaling it will seek an administrative path for repayment.
