January 11, 2010 – A Day of Justice in the French Court of

Carcassonne?

By Suzanna de Boer

How does a hard-working widow of 77 years of age find justice in the courts of France? The widow,

Madame Emilie Faussié, fights to maintain her beloved Chateau de Violet, that she has worked all their life

to create. But what is she to do when the legal battle begins in a courtroom, where the presiding judge is

also the chair of the bank (Crédit-Mutuel) that brings the lawsuit against her in the first place? And when

the original debt of 70,000 euros, created by the bank-appointed accounting firm’s "assistance", has been

over 2 years curiously inflated to 1.6 million euros? The debt of Madame Faussié has been essentially

created by the bank’s actions. Yes, it was the bank itself that appointed the accounting firm to advise her.

This same accounting firm and its "advisors" actually confused francs and euros when making its

declarations to the tax authorities, and brought her into ruin between the years of 2005 and 2007.

One can imagine that the Commercial Court of Carcassonne must change judges, which they did, but only

after the facts of the case reached the press, well-reported by the intrepid journalistic team of

L’Independent of Narbonne.

But the widow, Madame Faussié, refuses to give in to. She will fight for her patrimony, and her friends

have even brought the case to the attention of the First Lady of France, Carla Bruni Sarkozy.

brought to address the grievance that it alone created, to the destruction of her business and home and

life. Criminal complaints have been filed for support abuse and fraud against all the "advisors" of Madame

Faussié.

But we trust the Governors of France to address this gross injustice against Madame Faussié with

integrity, and we wait impatiently for the results to be published. Let justice be served.
