On March 2, 2015 was open to the criminal court of Seville (Spain) a correctional hearing to Jacques Dupuydauby. The latter, misappropriated the assets of Togolese and Gabonese companies he managed on behalf of the Bolloré group and exfiltrated them towards structures based on its name in Luxembourg.
"Mr. Dupuydauby is a swindler who embezzled 60 million euros of assets," insists Mr. Olivier Baratelli, counsel for the Bolloré group. Dupuydauby defense was weak: it retorted that the capital invested by Vincent Bolloré in these companies had been promised in return for its faithful service. As if that allowed him to tap into the fund and divert shares to his own benefit.
The Spanish court has to recognize the whole guilt Jacques Dupuydauby. He was sentenced to 3 years and 9 mos prison while his wife, who had served as nominees to the swindler is sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison.To both is now prohibited any administrative or business. Major damages are awarded to the Bolloré group victim of fraudulent activities, nearly 30 million euros
Recall that Jacques Dupuydauby was heavily condemned by the Togolese justice and that the subject of the part of it to an arrest warrant.
The sentence is 10 years for willful destruction plus 3 years firm for breach of trust, another 3 years for fraud; the same penalty for criminal group, 12 months for forgery and finally 100,000 CFA francs fine for tax evasion with complicity.
It is not the only one convicted. With him, his main collaborators, Vianney Dupuydauby his son Joseph-Christian Broutin Lionel Ganne, Antoine Boudoux Hautefeuille, and Gerard Perrier got sentenced to terms ranging from 1 to 10 years in prison.
In addition, the defendants were ordered to pay companies SE2M SE3M and 250 billion CFA francs and the State of Togo over 11 billion as taxes and 20 billion in damages and interest for various repair damage suffered.
As part of a tax audit commissioned by the Togolese SE2M tax on businesses, SE3M and CEOP, various investigations were conducted by officials of the General Tax Directorate (DGI).
In June 2009, while investigations were continuing, the Lome Court of Appeal recognized that unduly Dupuydauby had appropriated the assets of the Bolloré group.
The next morning, an employee of Jacques Dupuydauby, amateur pilot, had borrowed a Lome flying club the device and in the company of another frame had thrown all accounting to the sea!
In the hours that followed, Jacques Dupuydauby and his senior staff had left Togo hastily ... and definitively.
In an attempt to escape the consequences of these acts and to the convictions, Jacques Dupuydauby has developed a strategy to claim to be a victim of extortion and threatening to take legal action against its alleged perpetrators if his conviction n ' was canceled and material reparation of several billion CFA francs has not been allocated to it;
It is in this sense that he has:
- Sent letters to representatives of the Togolese State inviting them to come to an arrangement under pain of revealing alleged tortious practices which he was a victim;
- Publicly disparaged his conviction and magistrates which delivered it by calling it a "deal orchestrated by Bolloré" in an interview with Mediapart October 28, 2011;
- Publicly questioned the Head of State and his colleagues, accusing them of imaginary crimes;
- Threatened to seize ICSID and the criminal court if his conviction was not canceled and a sum of over € 50 million was not paid to him;
These actions and pressures, committed while he was open to Mr. Dupuydauby to challenge his criminal conviction under the legal remedies provided for that purpose, characterize the following offenses:
1. Blackmails, offenses defined and punishable under section 124 of the Penal Code which states: "Shall be punished by one to five years' imprisonment, under the threat of revealing a secret, to engage in a smear, destroy any document, undermine the freedom or integrity of a person or persons have extorted or attempted to extort the release of funds or assets or the signature or delivery of a written, an act or any part containing obligation, alienation or discharge ";
