This 41-year-old Toulousaine saw her bank account credited with 16,500 euros in all, under the solidarity fund for companies hit by the health crisis. But by re-crossing the data, the tax services realized that his company was no longer in activity at the time of confinement. Summoned to the Toulouse police station on Wednesday, the ex-entrepreneur admitted the fraud and undertook to gradually reimburse the sum. But, coming with her lawyer, she also tried to clear customs in part. From a police source, she told investigators that a stranger “in a suit and tie” had knocked on her door one day of confinement to offer to set up the file for her. She never saw him again and the transfers, four instalments, started coming in.
The police have no intention of looking for this merchant of happiness. The forties, already known to the police, has an appointment at the courthouse in May as part of a “guilty plea” procedure.
