The trial of former Interior Minister Claude Guéant, who was to be tried from Tuesday in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine) for “fraud” of campaign expenses, has been postponed to October 11 and 12, 2022 , for medical reasons.
The essential man of the presidency Nicolas Sarkozy, now 77 years old, was also to appear for “illegal financing” of his legislative campaign of 2012, after the distribution of a leaflet in his favor by the mayor UMP (now LR since) from Boulogne-Billancourt.
Hospitalized since Monday
The 77-year-old man, who was already suffering from “heart problems” contracted, during his two-month incarceration at the Health prison in Paris, “several additional severe pathologies”, indicated Me Philippe Bouchez El Ghozi. Claude Guéant had been imprisoned from December 13 to February 9, a first for a former tenant from Beauvau, and has since been granted parole.
