Sillans-la-Cascade: mayor in custody over attempted extortion
In late August 2026, during the new municipal elections in Sillans-la-Cascade, facts characterized as attempted extortion are attributed to the mayor and his third deputy. On October 28, 2026, the Draguignan prosecutor's office confirms their police custody and then their referral. In early November, a civil servant and his family file a complaint against Mayor Christophe Carrière and his deputy for threats, pressure and moral harassment. On November 3, the complainant's request for functional protection is debated in the municipal council, where it sows discord.
