He was the figure of the fight for employment at Ascoval. Bruno Kopczynski, the former treasurer of the works council of the steelworks located in Saint-Saulve (North) was sentenced by the courts for acts of embezzlement of money, reports France Blue North. Namely a sum of nearly 600,000 euros out of the coffers for his benefit and that of his wife and son.
The Lille Criminal Court imposed on the former CFDT delegate a three-year sentence, two of which were suspended, and a permanent ban on managing a company. The family must also pay (reimburse?) 500,000 euros.
This case broke out in 2020, when a complaint for breach of trust was filed with the Lille prosecutor. The CGT, which had won the union elections in 2019 in the factory, then appointed an accountant. As a result, between 2017 and 2020, more than 600,000 euros had been debited from the CSE account. A large majority of the sum was then found on that of Bruno Kopczynski’s entertainment company.
