Jean Tiberi
|
Jean Tiberi (January 30, 1935) is a French politician who was mayor of Paris from May 22, 1995 to March 18, 2003. As of 2004, he is now mayor of the 5th arrondissement of Paris and deputy to the French National Assembly.
Jean Tiberi and his wife Xavière Tiberi were involved in some corruption scandals in the Paris region in which Mr Tiberi was accused of vote-rigging.
In 1998, a justice-ordered search of Jean and Xavière Tiberi's apartment on the Place du Panthéon showed that they possessed illegal firearms. They were not prosecuted in exchange for the destruction of the weapons. [1] (http://www.lexpress.fr/Express/Info/France/Dossier/tiberi/dossier.asp?ida=168836)
The above actions are sometimes referred to by the press as Corsican mores [2] (http://www.lexpress.fr/Express/Info/France/Dossier/tiberi/dossier.asp?ida=168836).
