Pierre-Édouard Sterin, a billionaire close to the far right, is set to appear in January 2027 at the Paris Correctional Court for refusing to appear twice before a parliamentary inquiry commission in May 2025. He faces up to two years in prison and a fine of 7,500 euros for this non-appearance. Sterin, who became a billionaire through his gift box company Smartbox, was due to explain his political activism to the deputies. He refused to appear, citing security reasons.
