A month after being caught in the act of buying drugs, Andy Kerbrat continues to make headlines. According to Mediapart, the rebellious MP would have used his mandate expenses to finance, in particular, his personal drug consumption.
In response to these revelations, the President of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet announced this Friday that she had contacted the ethics officer. “Being an MP means having a duty to set an example. The facts reported by Mediapart concerning MP Andy Kerbrat are extremely serious (…). If the facts are proven, I will take legal action,” she wrote on X.
According to the investigative media, withdrawals from his “advance mandate fee” (AFM) account were made for a total of 13,000 euros. Transfers were also allegedly made via the PayPal and Lydia applications. In the columns of Mediapart, Andy Kerbrat admits “to having done anything” with public money, but denies having used all of this sum for his drug consumption.
In this investigation, the young man also returns to his addiction problems. “Before I started using substances, I had problems with alcohol. It was often because I had been drinking that I took substances,” he confides.
In mid-October, the elected official from Loire-Atlantique was caught in the act of purchasing 3-MMC, a synthetic drug very popular in party circles. He then announced that he was starting a “care protocol” in order to get rid of his addiction. This earned him the support of several left-wing elected officials.
