Give me the fake driving licence and I will give you the tickets to watch the rugby matches in Biarritz and Baiona. This is the treatment that, by the thistle and worries of each one, is undoubtedly corruption. An employee of the sub-prefecture of Baiona has been dealing with this corruption, which has been imprisoned on 31 January in Baiona. On 30 January it was the broadcaster France Bleue that made this matter known.

In turn, only one person who did not have, and there are already several who have gone through the police interrogation and the judge. And there will be more. For ten years he has dedicated himself to channelling this kind of treatment: the driving licence has received many advantages in exchange for the false.

It appears that the driving licence and rugby matches is only one case and the list can be much longer, bringing the number of agents to corruption. Among them, the head of the company and rugby players, as detailed by the Public Prosecutor’s Office on its website.

Among them, the Abertzale Poueyts

Michel Poueyts is the vice-president of Biarritz. Abertzale, who was the candidate for the Abertzale candidature Elkarrekin Biarritz in 2014. The centrist candidate Michel Veunac for the second round of the 2014 votes has won the elections and that is why the nationalists are in the majority of the City Hall, with Poueyts as mayor. He is also known in the world of the ball, as he is the technical director of the French Basque Ball Federation.

He is charged with “active corruption”. The defendant, who is not in agreement, has announced that he is going to file a complaint about these facts. It will also appeal to the courts for infringing the secret investigation and for failing to respect the presumption of innocence. He says that it is in bad faith and calculated that his name should emerge in the electoral period of the people. The Abertzales will also present an Abertzale list at the elections to be held on 15 and 22 March this year. It is certain that this corruption issue will not make the way for them.

Feeling of dysfunction and at the request of the sub-prefecture, an internal level survey was launched a few months ago in the sub-prefecture of Baiona. Once the dysfunctions were clarified, the prosecutor warned and the survey was left to the Baiona police station. Poueyts and rugby cards can be the first in a long list... Because the corruption that has lasted for ten years has brought many actors together.
