Opening of the Respire + trial before the Pointe-à-Pitre criminal court, this Thursday, October 17. Rodrigue Solitude, former chief of staff of the President of the Region, is being prosecuted for illegal taking of interests by a person entrusted with a public service mission.
The 4th time was finally the right one. After 3 referrals, the trial of Rodrigue Solitude is finally being held before the criminal court of Pointe-à-Pitre.
The former chief of staff of Ary Chalus is being prosecuted for illegal taking of interests by a person entrusted with a public service mission.
Clearly, he took advantage of his position closest to power to facilitate obtaining a subsidy of 450,000 euros for the mask manufacturing company Respire Plus.
At the helm, Rodrigue Solitude refutes any official intervention. However, retorts the president, it was you who sent the file, by email, to Denis Céleste in his capacity as deputy general director of the Regional Council. “I didn’t remember it anymore“replies the defendant.
A first intervention followed by several others, just as surprising. Thus, it is Rodrigue Solitude who helps Patrick Maldhé, the president of Respire Plus, to write the business plan.
It is again Rodrigue Solitude who intervenes with the bank, freight forwarders, suppliers and even who will go so far as to answer, in place of Patrick Maldhé, the necessarily very technical questions of a Dieccte official.
And Rodrigue Solitude will even go so far as to mobilize his partner and his family to help make masks.
So many interventions which, for the president, resemble de facto management and which, moreover, are not compatible with the status of public official.
Rodrigue Solitide, for his part, does not budge: “we were in the middle of the Covid period. My only goal was to help people“.
An altruism contradicted by Patrick Maldhé. The victim believes that the current interim general director of CTIG was pursuing a single objective, to take control of his company.
