Aurélie B.’s life seems punctuated by a succession of scams. Indicted for money laundering in an organized gang in the case of the theft of 100 million euros from Kiabi, the former treasurer of the low-cost brand has, according to our information, embezzled at least 680,000 euros to the detriment of an ex-companion, then a promising young professional footballer, in the early 2010s. “His first victim was me,” confides the player, who wishes to preserve his anonymity. “Aurélie B. admitted the facts in a letter of confession, thanks to which we were then able to recover the funds by holding my client’s bank accountable,” says Sylvain Cormier, her lawyer.
The matter was resolved confidentially, without any civil or criminal proceedings being initiated. French justice was unaware of this when Aurélie B. was sentenced to two years in prison, in July 2023, for the embezzlement of 760,000 euros in 2018, to the detriment of her former employer at Inseec , a private school group that became Omnes Education.
