A search at Argeliers town hall
#HEARING The gendarmes of the Montpellier financial brigade carried out a search of the mayor of Argeliers on Thursday April 16 as part of the investigation into the management of photocopier rental contracts.
In 2023, the regional audit chamber had pointed out dysfunctions in 2014 and 2021 which would have generated an additional cost of €600,000 for the community. The report filed in 2021 by the local Anticor group was closed in 2022 by the Narbonne public prosecutor’s office, the offenses not having been considered sufficiently serious.
The sub-prefect of Narbonne and the regional chamber of accounts have since noted the violation of public procurement rules. A new complaint was filed in 2024 by the Anticor group from Montpellier. “A judicial investigation was opened and an investigating judge was appointed”confirmed the Narbonne prosecutor to L’Indépendant. For the mayor of Argeliers, Gérard Leteissier, the search is “the logical continuation of the investigation. We were not aware of it, but it was predictable”.
