The Ex-Prefect Who Did Not Pay His Taxes




Jean Daubigny, former prefect, former director of cabinet of Manuel Valls at the Ministry of the Interior did not pay his taxes between 2011 and 2014, or 193 393 euros unpaid.
On November 3, 2017, he was sentenced to eight months in prison. The tax administration waited three years before filing a complaint ...
The senior civil servant, who has been a career in the prefecture for more than thirty years, has admitted in the Paris Criminal Court not to have declared his income from 2011 to 2014, ie 193,393 euros of unpaid taxes, despite repeated reminders of administration. His wife was sentenced to four months in prison.

The couple regularized their tax situation, including penalties. Like the former minister Thomas Thevenoud (sentenced in May 2017 to three months in prison suspended and one year ineligibility for tax evasion), the former prefect seems to have been suffering from "administrative phobia" .

In September in court, the high official "severe depressive" according to a doctor, said that "drowned" in the work, "a great job of solitary", he had developed "an incomprehensible blockage" that "prevented to open the mail "of the tax, says Le Point.

A senior official is definitely not a taxpayer like the others. The taxman knew the facts at the latest in 2013, but complained only in 2016. Depending on whether you will be powerful or miserable ...
Former student of the National School of Administration (ENA), Jean Daubigny was prefect of Reunion, then Champagne-Ardenne, Midi-Pyrenees, Brittany or Pays-de-la-Loire.

In May 2012 he was appointed cabinet director of Manuel Valls, then Minister of the Interior, before becoming Prefect of Paris and Île-de-France in December 2012 until his retirement in April 2015. Jean Daubigny did not claim his pension rights, estimated at around 5,000 euros per month.

France has about 200 prefects (guaranteed status for life, salary of 6 to 12,000 euros net per month, minimum pension of 4,000 euros) and 500 sub-prefects (see sub-prefectures: millions of euros wasted in waste !). As of 1 October 2015, 128 prefects with no territorial assignment were registered by the Ministry of the Interior.

It is estimated at 75 the number of prefects "out of frame", these "ghost" prefects appointed by the government in a discretionary way for a mission of 5 years maximum, renewable. System that allows to reward the friends of power.
