Marco Mouly in police custody in Paris, suspected of having organized his insolvency

JUSTICE – Marco Mouly is still not done with justice. Here he is this Monday, June 17, placed in police custody as part of a preliminary investigation opened by the Paris prosecutor’s office. The “king of scams” ​​is suspected by the courts of having organized his insolvency in order not to honor his numerous debts to the French state, according to information from BFMTV and the Parisian.

In 2017, Marco Mouly was sentenced on appeal to eight years of imprisonment and a fine of one million euros in the so-called ” carbon tax “, vast VAT fraud on the market for pollution rights. He was imprisoned again in mid-May after the partial revocation of his suspended sentence, pronounced in another case. This Monday, he was taken from his cell in La Santé prison, in Paris, for this police custody.

The investigators notably discovered that Marco Mouly had arranged so that it was his daughter, Cindy, and not him, who received most of the copyright for his autobiographical book entitled The mare. The latter actually only wrote a very short preface to the work. At the beginning of June, the young woman had already been placed in police custody with her mother.

Community manager job and nice apartment

Furthermore, the conditions under which Marco Mouly was hired for a job as community manager are also in the investigators’ sights. For this, he allegedly provided the courts with false pay slips.

As BFMTV notes, investigators are also wondering how the crook, known for his luxurious lifestyle, was able to rent a very beautiful apartment located in the 17th arrondissement of Paris.

The Parisian also notes that Marco Mouly was sentenced to three years in prison in 2019 in a case of VAT fraud to the detriment of the State of Denmark, for acts dating back to the years 1998-1999. In this case, Marco Mouly would have paid only 3,431 euros out of a total fine of 15,000 euros.
