Judge postpones trial in the L’Oreal heiress case
July 2nd, 2010 - 12:08 am ICT by Aishwarya BhattNanterre, July 1 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The judge in charge of the case involving the L’Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt has postponed the trial, because of the discovery of some new evidence. The judge wants to make sure if Liliane was the victim of the unscrupulous character, and was lured into showering gifts worth $1.2 billion on him.
This new evidence has caused the high profile case to take onto a new twist altogether and it remains to be seen what the outcome would be. The trial was started on Thursday for a very small duration of time, but the judge then thought that it was prudent to postpone it, in the wake of the new evidence. The judge hasn’t decided on a date to resume the new date for the trial as yet.
Liliane’s daughter - Francoise Bettencourt Meyers has also cropped up into the picture and she claimed that the photographer and author Francois-Marie Banier had manipulated her mother to get gifts like art, property and even hard cash. And on top of that there are also some recorded conversations, which could give the controversial case, an altogether new turn.
“It’s good, this is exactly what we asked for. The case could still evolve,” according to Meyers’s lawyer Olivier Metzner.
