In December, the prosecution requested a fine of €2,500 against Jean-Luc Evrard as well as a ban on holding public office for five years. Rather unfortunate for a mayor.
This morning, the president of the court Manuela Cadelli delivered her judgment. And he completely cleanses the honor of Jean-Luc Evrard and his nephew.
In a particularly reasoned judgment, the magistrate dismantled all the accusations and considered that there was no trace of “predation of public property by an agent” in favor of a loved one. The two defendants are therefore acquitted.
“It was very hard for my loved ones”
In the room of lost steps of the Palais de Justice of Namur, the mayor of Jemeppe-sur-Sambre did not hide his joy. “I lost a certain confidence in Justice for a moment but now I have just found it againhe slips, a few minutes after the pronouncement. I can repeat what I have always said. This matter is just an empty shell. This is all just a political cabal. But during this long period, all these attacks were very violent and it was very hard for my loved ones. Today, we will be able to get together for a good aperitif and a good meal with the family.”
