The 26-year-old young man, on sick leave for more than a year, was sentenced for transport, possession, acquisition, offer or transfer of narcotics on Saturday November 9. He was arrested Thursday evening in flagrante delicto in the 10th arrondissement of Paris.
In Marseille to present their major plan against drug trafficking, the Ministers of the Interior and Justice perhaps did not think that the tentacles of drug trafficking “octopus” that they intend to fight would extend as far as the Hôtel de Matignon. One of its employees, a 26-year-old butler on prolonged sick leave for more than a year, was convicted on Saturday November 9 by the Paris court of transport, possession, acquisition, offer or transfer of narcotics, as reported the Parisian. He received a year in prison – half suspended, the rest flexible if he remains at home with an electronic bracelet. All accompanied by a fine of 3,000 euros.
The judgment was rendered by the Paris court, in an appearance for prior recognition of guilt. Quick, discreet procedure, made possible by the confessions of Vincent P. while in police custody. It must be said that he had been arrested in flagrante delicto two days earlier, Thursday evening around 10:45 p.m. in the heart of Paris. Hand in hand, we could say: “The police arrested the driver of a scooter for selling cocaine at the foot of a building on rue des Petites Ecuries [dans le Xe arrondissement de Paris, ndlr]»said the prosecution on Friday to Liberation. He had 50 grams of cocaine and more than 1,400 euros in cash on him. The prosecution referred the matter to the narcotics brigade.
Last visit to Matignon in April
According to the Parisianthe young man had recently appeared in court at the Créteil court, for acts of mutual violence with his girlfriend. He would have been sentenced on October 30 to a training course on domestic violence and sexism – while his partner would have received a criminal fine of 1,000 euros.
If he is indeed employed at Matignon, the hotel where the Prime Minister lives and works, the young man has probably not met his current tenant. According to our information, Vincent P. would have arrived in Matignon at the end of 2022 – at the time when Elisabeth Borne still held the reins of government. The butler would have gone on sick leave on March 16, 2023, before switching to “serious illness” leave on December 1, 2023, renewed until May 2025. His last visit to Matignon dates from April 18, 2024 – Gabriel Attal had then held his position as Prime Minister for three months.
