A French appeal court has upheld the conviction of former French Prime Minister Francois Fillon for embezzling public funds and fictitious employment of his wife Penelope.<\/p>\n

The Guardian<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Fillon was accused of fictitiously employing his wife as his assistant while he was a member of the National Assembly. At the same time, Penelope received a salary from state funds for 15 years, but did nothing. Her total earnings were estimated at more than 800 thousand euros.<\/p>\n

The scandal against Fillon broke out in the media in 2017 when he was a candidate in the presidential elections. But Fillon was defeated.<\/p>\n

For his part, Fillon repeatedly said his wife carried out certain assistant duties including opening his mail and proofreading his speeches.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Fran\u00e7ois Fillon was sentenced to five years in prison, three of which were suspended, a fine of 375 thousand euros and a 10-year ban from holding public office. His wife was given two-year suspended sentence and the same fine. However, had been allowed to remain free pending the outcome of the appeal.<\/p>\n

Now the appeal has reduced the ex-premier’s prison term from two years to one year.<\/p>\n

The couple announced that they were referring the case to France\u2019s highest judicial authority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
