France's ex-PM Castex detained on suspicion of embezzlement

“There is no notion of personal enrichment,” the source said, according to report.az.

The arrest was triggered as part of an investigation into decisions taken by Castex when he was president of the Community of Municipalities of Conflent Canigo, in the Eastern Pyrenees. Castex is now president of Rato, the public transport company for Paris and its suburbs.
