An investigation was opened after the complaint of the activist Europe Ecology-the Greens (EELV) Claire Monod against the registration on the electoral lists in Paris of Sandrine Rousseau, who was then invested for the legislative elections in 2022, indicated Monday the wooden floor.
The investigation was opened at the beginning of June for improper registration on an electoral list by fraudulent declaration or false certificate and entrusted to the Brigade for the repression of delinquency against persons, said the prosecution, confirming information from Paris Match.
“Let justice do its job. It’s very good, ”reacted to AFP Sandrine Rousseau, specifying that she had not been informed of the opening of this investigation. “We hope that the investigation will be rapid, so that all the light is shed on the conditions of the election of Sandrine Rousseau”, underlined Me Jérôme Karsenti, lawyer for Claire Monod.
A “subletting project”
This investigation follows the complaint filed in mid-June by the environmental activist denouncing “the undue registration on the electoral lists” of Sandrine Rousseau. Claire Monod’s candidacy for the nomination for the EELV legislative elections in 2022 had been rejected in favor of that of Sandrine Rousseau, while the latter “lives, works and has been active in Lille since the 2000s” according to the complaint consulted by the AFP.
Claire Monod, defeated in the legislative elections in 2017nevertheless benefited, according to her, from the support of activists in the 13th arrondissement, where she lives.
According the investigative magazine Complément d’Enquête by France 2, Sandrine Rousseau provided the town hall of the 13th arrondissement with a certificate of insurance for accommodation in which she was not living on March 1, 2022, three days before the closing of registrations on the electoral lists and the validation of nominations by EELV. This document was drawn up by an acquaintance at the request of Sandrine Rousseau, it is specified in the complaint.
“There was a sublet project because it was a furnished apartment” but “finally I settled in an unfurnished apartment because subletting was not possible”, defended Sandrine Rousseau on the show. “As there was a closure of the electoral lists, I bet on this sublease, yes,” she acknowledged.
This registration allowed him to “feign an anchorage in the 13th arrondissement” and to be invested by the authorities of EELV, according to the complaint. Sandrine Rousseau ended up signing a lease in mid-April for a studio located in this arrondissement.
