Placed in pre-trial detention at the end of March for embezzlement, the former mayor has just been released.
The former mayor of Agde, Gilles d’Ettore, has just been released this Wednesday, June 26, 2024, reports Free Midday. Placed in pre-trial detention since the end of March, the former councilor is indicted for embezzlement, illegal taking of interest and corruption. The Public Prosecutor of Béziers detailed in a press release that: “the investigating magistrates ordered the release of the former mayor of Agde, taking into account in particular the resignation of all his elected mandates since May 31, 2024 and the presentation of an accommodation project far from the department”.
During his police custody on March 20, the former mayor explained that he had acted at the request of voices emanating from beyond, who would have contacted him by telephone. It was in reality a clairvoyant whose residence, located in Hérault, was financed by these embezzlements until the construction of her veranda. During her interrogation, the clairvoyant arrested with Gilles d’Ettore admitted to having contacted the elected official on the telephone to ask for increasingly large sums of money.
