LFI deputy Carlos Martens Bilongo, targeted by an investigation for tax evasion, would have benefited from social housing while owning two apartments. He would also have sublet the social property to his sister.
Carlos Martens Bilongo finds himself embroiled in a new case. The LFI deputy for Val-d’Oise would have benefited, according to information from BFM TV, of social housing until December 2022. The provision of this housing raises questions since the continuous news channel also reveals that the insubordinate is the owner of two apartments, but it is also the use that would have had the chosen one of the real estate questioning. The case seems to be linked to the investigation opened in mid-April by the Pontoise park targeting Carlos Martens Bilongo for “tax evasion” and “money laundering”.
Three apartments for Carlos Martens Bilongo
A Bercy investigation unit has been investigating the elected representative of rebellious France since April and according to the first elements of the investigation Carlos Martens Bilongo would have occupied the accommodation for several years, but would have left it in 2020. Since that date, the accommodation would have been occupied by one of the MP’s sisters in exchange for the payment of rent. For his part, the rebellious confirmed with the BFM TV having lived for about ten years in this social housing and having shared the apartment for a time with his sister who contributed to the payment of the rent. However, he neither denied nor acknowledged his departure from the apartment in 2020. The man from Villiers-le-Bel added that he had regularized his situation in December 2022.
If he lived in the social housing in question, Carlos Martens Bilongo is the owner of two apartments. Why didn’t he live in these properties? To this question, the deputy answers by specifying that one of these properties is purely rental and that the second was “under construction from 2018 to 2020”, the construction site preventing him from investing in the premises earlier.
An investigation for “misuse of corporate assets”?
Carlos Martens Bilongo is well under investigation for tax evasion, but it is not the only leader who could give rise to investigations. The preliminary investigation by the Pontoise public prosecutor’s office targets the elected official for other reasons, including “abuse of corporate assets and breach of reporting obligations to the High Authority for the Transparency of Public Life (HATVP)”.
