Une conseillère municipale condamnée pour avoir extorqué 56 000 euros à un homme de 98 ans

The Montauban Criminal Court sentenced a municipal councilor to six months in prison on Tuesday for abuse of weakness, after she extorted 56,000 euros from a 98-year-old man, reports Agence France-Presse (AFP).

The 76-year-old councillor cashed 41 checks between 2018 and 2023 for amounts ranging from €500 to €10,000, which were systematically deposited into her bank account. Half of the checks were written directly by the councillor.

"She was convicted, that's what I wanted," the 98-year-old victim told AFP after the trial, before adding: "I sweated to earn that money, I would have preferred to give it to my grandson."

The victim is the father of a former city councilor

Danielle Amouroux is a municipal councilor for the LR/UDR majority in Montauban, district assistant and notably delegate to the council for the rights and duties of families.
