The Penelope Fillon case

“Field worker”

The three defendants were retried since November 15 for embezzlement of public funds, complicity or concealment of this offense in particular, concerning three employment contracts of Penelope Fillon as parliamentary assistant between 1998 and 2013. Total compensation: more than 612,000 euros net.

At the bar of the court of appeal, they repeated one after another that Penelope Fillon had done a real job as “field worker” in the constituency of Sarthe where François Fillon had been elected deputy. The defendants assured that the discreet Franco-Galloise maintained the “trust relationship” with the inhabitants by participating in local events, by managing the mail that arrived at their homes or by preparing “memos”. If there are so few traces left, it is because it was mainly a job “oral”, they argued.
