Hubert Falco soon noticed his destination. The Cassation Court issued on Wednesday, May 28, its decision on the appeal formed by former Mayor of Toulon on Wednesday, May 28, several months ago after his conviction in the “Falco Nevera” case.
In 2023, the former councilor had been sentenced to 18 months of suspended prison sentence, a fine of 30,000 euros and five years of inelegability with provisional execution. In question, the food and pressing rates paid by the General Council Var when they no longer directed it. Therefore, he had been convicted of “embezzlement of public funds.”
A case, which has some similarities with that of Marine Le Pen, who was convicted on March 31 in the case of the case of European parliamentary attendees of the National Front. However, on the side of the RN, the result of the judicial decision and the real consequences for your boss are attenuated.
“Quite limited” consequences
The Court of Cassation is scheduled to decide on Wednesday on the five -year eligibility ruling with provisional execution, Confirmed in appeal against Hubert Falco. A judicial decision, which prevents him from presenting himself in the municipal elections of 2026 in Toulon as expected.
During the hearing, the general lawyer requested the rejection of the appeal formed by Hubert Falco, however, left the door to court.
In another recent decision, the Court had considered that it was the judge “to evaluate the proportional nature of the attack that this measure (inelegability with the provisional execution, note of the editor) is likely that the exercise of a mandate in progress and the preservation of the freedom of the voter.”
“It’s not the same business”
Even if this decision will be carefully examined by Camp Marine Le Pen, its consequences will be “quite limited” for the leader of the national demonstration, according to a source close to the file with BFMTV.
The Paris Court had decided to condemn the former presidential candidate for a five -year judgment of inelegability with an immediate request, former officer for the ELYSÉE race in 2027 at the moment.
“We are not in the same cases. And Hubert Falco wishes to recover his local mandate. It’s not like Marine Le Pen who wishes to present to a possible national mandate,” says the Lépéniste camp.

A decision that could allow you to present to the presidential elections in 2027.
