The defendants were initially summoned on June 21, but the trial was postponed, the defense lawyer being sick. The court started examining the Frenet school case around 11 a.m. on Thursday 22 November. This particularly complex river hearing ended a little before 20 p.m., the main defendants being the subject of nine charges.
As a reminder, the rectorate announced the interruption of the activity of the Frenet and Victor Schoelcher schools in Saint-Martin, located on Augustin Baker street in Concordia on September 1, 2017. “These private establishments without contract have not obtained the authorization of national education, are not authorized to provide lessons, ”he explained. At the same time, the representatives of the two establishments managed by the Ecole Frenet association - since liquidated - were the subject of a police investigation. The Heir couple, who managed this school, are suspected of having diverted part of the money from registrations for their benefit and of not having declared employees. He is also being prosecuted for fraud at Pôle Emploi. Their association, of which their daughter was the president and therefore the legal representative, would have benefited from aid paid by the State to cover 95% of the salaries of some of its employees (including their two children) while it was not entitled to it, for a total of 90 euros. The Pôle Emploi agent would have mentioned homes in so-called priority areas and / or modified the previous periods of inactivity, so that the association could benefit from these financial measures, while the said employees did not live at the addresses indicated and / or or hadn't been inactive for that long.

Only Jean Héritier and his daughter were present at the hearing, accompanied by their lawyer. Annick Nuyttens, wife of Jean Héritier, and their son Romain were absent because they have now settled in Italy. In the absence of the Pôle Emploi agent Marika Andriulli, and especially in that of her lawyer who was to assist another person at the Assises in Guadeloupe, the court agreed to separate the two cases. That is to say, it will be judged separately.
