Overview

  • Pierre-Édouard Stérin, under investigation for his Périclès political funding project, did not attend his scheduled parliamentary hearing on May 14.
  • Stérin requested to testify via videoconference, citing serious and repeated death threats, but the commission denied the request due to logistical constraints.
  • The commission has rescheduled his hearing for May 20 at 11 a.m. and warned of legal action, including potential imprisonment and fines, if he fails to appear again.
  • Chairman Thomas Cazenave condemned the threats against Stérin but maintained that the Assembly can ensure witness safety and that prior accommodations were sufficient.
  • Stérin’s associate, Arnaud Rérolle, testified earlier on May 6, signaling some level of cooperation from Stérin’s team despite the ongoing tensions.
