Last update: 3 hours agoCourtroom Spotlight: The biggest embezzlement case in Martinique’s recent history finally opens in Fort-de-France this Monday, with six defendants set to face trial over an alleged €3.2M+ disability-aid fraud linked to the CTM’s Directorate of Autonomy between 2019 and 2024. Prosecutors say the scheme relied on falsified files, forged documents, and fraudulent transfers, with part of the money allegedly funding luxury spending and major bank transactions. Legal Fallout: Several guilty pleas have already led to suspended sentences, fines, and asset confiscations, setting the stage for what could be a defining ruling. Regional Context: The week also saw major Caribbean disruption in travel, as Air Antilles was ordered into liquidation and shut down permanently after a safety audit and $69M debt crisis.
