A couple domiciled in part Dutch was summoned Wednesday morning before the local court. The 37-year-old woman is accused of defrauding the state and laundering money; to the 41-year-old man for concealing the property from the scam.
The investigation carried out revealed the following facts. As part of her company based in Saint-Barth, the woman applied for the solidarity fund set up by the government to help companies impacted by the covid-19 crisis. It declared a turnover of 2 million euros and obtained 229 euros in financial aid from the state. She then transferred part of this sum, ie 000 euros, to Dubai.
This transfer was spotted by Tracfin services. This is how investigations were initiated and made it possible to identify the woman. Investigators believe that she would have overestimated the turnover of her business. As for his companion, he is accused of having taken advantage of 229 euros.
They both requested time to prepare their defense as did the state judicial agency (the victim). The court returned the case to early September.
