According to Nadine Morano, the fact of demanding exemplary behavior and righteousness is assimilated to fascism, definitely there are some who have not been very diligent in school, and we understand better that they dismantle National Education.
Liliane Bettencourt's ex-accountant, who claims that Eric Woerth would have received 150.000 euros, sees his accusations "partly contradicted by the notebooks" listing the billionaire's expenses, writes Liberation.
The former accountant Liliane Bettencourt will have to explain a bit more. Because his famous notebooks, a time not found, have reappeared. They would bring, according to her, quantified elements in the investigation into the accusations of illegal financing of the presidential campaign of Nicolas Sarkozy in 2007. But what do these notebooks contain? The lawyer for the heiress of L'Oréal, Me Georges Kiejman, showed photocopies of it on I-télé and Libération reproduced extracts from it in its Thursday edition. However, according to the daily, with the publication of the contents of these notebooks, Claire Thibout sees his accusations"partly contradicted".
It is in these notebooks that the one who was the accountant of the billionaire from 1995 to 2008 said to have recorded all the cash withdrawals made on two bank accounts of the billionaire and their use. These cash books, which Liliane Bettencourt said stolen and that the accountant claimed to have left with the billionaire, have been in the hands of the police since Wednesday, we say from a source familiar with the matter. According to Georges Kiejman and Libération, there is clearly the trace of a withdrawal of the 50.000 euros withdrawn from an account of Liliane Bettencourt to BNP, on the date indicated by the accountant, 26 March 2007.
"It's not to go to the hairdresser"
According to the ex-accountant, these 50.000 euros were supposed to have been given to Eric Woerth, treasurer of the Sarkozy campaign, at the same time as 100.000 euros withdrawn in Switzerland. Mr. Kiejman and Libération declare, however, that the notebook mentions a series of uses of the 50.000 euros unrelated to political financing, in particular food purchases and the payment of a binder. "There is not the slightest element that allows us to say that these sums were used for anything other than pocket money." to the family Bettencourt, believes the lawyer of the billionaire. Libération nevertheless specifies that we previously noticed another withdrawal of 100.000 euros with the mention "Bettencourt". But the accountant told Mediapart that it always bore this mention when the money was handed over to politicians, so that there would be no paper trail. "My client is adamant. When we take out 100.000 euros for Mr. Bettencourt, it's not to go to the hairdresser“, comments the accountant’s lawyer, Me Antoine Gillot.
Claire Thibout, after his hearing by the police in two stages on Monday and his interview at the site Mediapart, had gone to the provinces, but the police went to look for her there on Wednesday, according to Me Gillot who specifies: "They want to re-examine her, perhaps on the gap between her first police hearing and her interview at Mediapart". Claire Thibout had not mentioned to the police the cash payments directly to politicians and in particular to Nicolas Sarkozy when he was mayor of Neuilly, which she advanced to Mediapart. A confrontation would also be considered by the police with the wealth manager of Liliane Bettencourt, Patrice de Maistre, who challenged the accounts of the ex-accountant before the police.
According to Liberation, the accountant "is now against the wall. Perhaps compelled to say more“. Because she is now on the front line in the case: Eric Woerth announced on Wednesday a complaint for slanderous denunciation.
