Hérault: in Carnon, free parking to revive commerce
Free parking to support city center businesses: this is the solution imagined by the town of Carnon, in Hérault. It was a campaign promise of the new mayor, who was elected. A 500-space car park will therefore become free, which should benefit tourism.

Arriving in the city center of Carnon (Hérault), on the morning of Monday April 6, a good surprise for a resident. The parking meters are covered, and she can park in a 500-space car park for free. “Especially since it was still quite expensive, 1.60 euros. It was starting to add up to a small amount. Because here we just come to play in the park with the little one,” she comments. Tourists have spent the night here, they won’t pay a cent. “It’s true that we are a little surprised, we saw that everything was free, so we took advantage of it, we came here. Then finally, we even came to sleep here,” they explain.
Since April 1 in Carnon, free parking in this city car park has been extended all year round for a maximum of 48 hours. On the port, regulars who have coffee in a restaurant every morning will now be able to park right next to it. “We paid for an hour or two hours that we stayed, whereas here we will have free parking for 500 spaces, that’s important,” said Michel Gardais, a resident of Carnon.
Same enthusiasm for the manager, who hopes to benefit from a new clientele of tourists. “For the economic fabric it’s perfect. You can go to the beaches for free, you can go and enjoy the shops in the port for free… It’s perfect,” rejoices Stéphane Moaty, vice-president of the Carnon traders’ association.
But free access is not extended throughout the city. In certain car parks, it will be limited to two hours. So tourists wonder: is it enough to take advantage of the beachside shops? “When we’re at the beach, two hours, if we have children or anything, it’s still a bit limited. Especially since the business revolves around the beach. So why not take three hours, or half a day,” says a man.
But in the seaside resort, parking brings in more than 2.5 million euros to the municipality each year. The mayor (Various right) of Mauguio-Carnon (Hérault), Pierre-Martin Chazot Mayor, just elected, hopes to limit losses. “The dynamic will be revived at the level of traders, at the level of the city’s influence. So effectively, we are losing some revenue on this town entrance car park, which we will gain on the dynamism and influence of the seaside resort,” comments the latter. The town of Carnon goes from 3,800 inhabitants per year to more than 30,000 in the summer.

From the hack of Trivy to that of the European Commission, autopsy of a hack
The attack was claimed on March 28 by the group “ShinyHunters”. A few days later, the European Commission has just lifted the veil on an informative security incident which affected the platform of its public website hosted on an Amazon cloud. As Cert-EU explains in a detailed article published last Thursday, this hack was spotted on March 24.
That day, the European Commission’s Cybersecurity Operations Center received an alert. Abnormal usage of Amazon APIs suggests account compromise, while unusual traffic is also spotted. After investigations, Cert-EU was able to precisely trace the contours of the compromise, providing feedback on experience that is valuable because it is relatively complete.
The Trivy brand
It all started almost a week earlier, on March 19. That day, the attacker managed to obtain a key that opened the way to Amazon’s cloud. The hacker immediately attempts to open other accesses, via the TruffleHog tool, before beginning reconnaissance activities, all entry points since closed by the Commission.
A timeline which coincides with the attack on Trivy, attributed to the “TeamPCP” operating mode. But this is not the only element that suggests links between these two attacks. The European Commission was in fact unknowingly using a compromised version of Trivy. Brussels also advises all Trivy users to update their tool to a version recognized as secure.
The compromise of this open source vulnerability scanner seemed like a jackpot for hackers. They had in fact collected identification data in a cascade, noted Anssi. This first hack began with the takeover of a repository on GitHhub, followed by the compromise of other projects. The result is the deployment of infostealers, malware hungry for credentials of all kinds.
Analysis in progress
Among the indirect victims of Trivy, the European Commission. Brussels thus deplores the theft of approximately 92 gigabytes of data, files relating to websites hosted by the Europa service, entities internal and external to the Union.
Cert-EU notes that around 52,000 files concern emails. Although the majority of these communications were automated notifications, these messages may “contain original user-submitted content, posing a risk of disclosure of personal information.”
“Analysis of databases linked to hosted websites is underway,” Cert-EU also warns. Given the volume and complexity of the data involved, this process requires considerable time. » Clearly, if the methods of the attack were quickly identified, it will still take time to measure the extent of the damage.

وذكر المحلل سرهات لطيف أوغلو بأن ما يقرب من 20٪ من إمدادات النفط في العالم تمر عبر مضيق هرمز، مما يجعله نقطة رئيسية في نظام الطاقة العالمي.
ونقلت الصحيفة عن الخبير قوله: “في خضم الصراع المحيط بإيران، شددت طهران قبضتها على حركة السفن في المنطقة، حيث تنظم فعلياً مرور ناقلات النفط وتقوم بجباية إيرادات إضافية من العبور”.
ويعتقد لطيف أوغلو أنه إذا استمر نفوذ إيران في المضيق في النمو، فإن طهران ليس فقط ستجني مكاسب اقتصادية كبيرة، بل وستحصل أيضا على أداة ضغط جيوسياسية قوية، بما في ذلك القدرة على التأثير على أسعار النفط والتدفقات المالية العالمية.
كما لا يستبعد المحلل أن يؤدي مثل هذا السيناريو إلى تسريع انتقال بعض الدول إلى عملات بديلة لمدفوعات الطاقة، الأمر الذي من شأنه أن يضعف مكانة الدولار الاقتصاد العالمي.
For 28 days, the water will be drained. This will allow the water to dry out. وتشن إيران بدورها ضربات انتقامية على الأراضي الإسرائيلية، فضلا عن استهدافها أهدافا عسكرية أمريكية في الشرق الأوسط.

The Minelli shoe brand once again placed in receivership
The shoe manufacturer Minelli was once again placed in receivership, two and a half years after an identical procedure which led to the takeover of the brand, according to a legal document consulted on Sunday April 5 by Agence France-Presse (AFP), confirming information from L’Informé.
Minelli had been in safeguard proceedings since September, converted in March into receivership by a judgment of the Paris Economic Activities Court, which means that the company is now in cessation of payments.
Created in 1973, the brand of leather goods and shoes mainly intended for women was placed in receivership in September 2023 before the Marseille commercial court (which has since become the economic activities court). It was then saved by three buyers – investors and the clothing brand Mes Demoiselles Paris – who integrated it into a new entity, Maison Minelli, today in receivership after a six-month observation period during the safeguard phase.

Around ten loss-making stores
The brand has not yet rectified the situation: it lost 3.7 million euros during its last published financial year 2024-2025. According to the previous safeguard judgment consulted by AFP, “around ten stores taken over” by the new owners “turn out to be loss-making. »
The rescue of Minelli in 2024 was to the detriment of many employees, with the workforce falling to less than 200 employees compared to around 600 before the takeover.

Samir Nasri caught up in his meal deliveries: the tax authorities demand 5 million euros from him
The French tax administration does not lack imagination when it comes to tracking down recalcitrant taxpayers, and former French international Samir Nasri has just had the bitter experience of this.
Retired from the field since 2021, the man nicknamed the “Little Prince of Marseille” today leads a career as a noted consultant on the set of the Canal Football Club. But behind the technical analyzes and the relaxed smile, a high-level legal and financial battle is playing out in the shadows.
The French tax authorities are contesting the tax residence of the ex-Manchester City player, officially domiciled in the United Arab Emirates. To prove that the midfielder actually spends most of his time on French soil, Bercy inspectors used a method that was original to say the least: the careful analysis of his meal delivery platform accounts.
The stakes are colossal since the administration is demanding a sum exceeding 5 million euros in tax arrears and penalties.
More than 200 Deliveroo orders: too many for the tax authorities
For the tax administration, the case is based on a precise legal concept: the “center of vital interests”. If Samir Nasri claims to live in Dubai, a particularly lenient territory in terms of taxes, investigators have accumulated evidence tending to demonstrate that his daily life takes place mainly in Paris.
According to information revealed by Les Échos and relayed by several specialized accounts, the tax authorities obtained access to the data of its meal delivery applications, in particular Deliveroo. The verdict of the algorithms is clear: for the year 2022 alone, the former footballer would have placed more than 200 orders delivered to Parisian addresses. A pace of consumption which suggests an almost daily presence in the French capital, far from the beaches of the Persian Gulf.
This method of investigation, although surprising, is part of an underlying trend where digital traces are becoming formidable proof tools. By examining order histories, the agents were able to establish a precise calendar of the ex-player’s habits.
Ordering a burger or sushi in Paris two to three times a week, month after month, makes the argument of a simple tourist stay difficult to maintain. The investigators did not stop there, cross-referencing this data with his regular appearances on Canal+ and other elements of his lifestyle.
For Bercy, the observation is clear: you don’t order 200 meals per year in a city where you are only passing through.
A recovery of 5 million euros that the former Marseillais contests
The direct consequence of this investigation is a massive tax adjustment. The tax authorities believe that Samir Nasri should have declared all of his worldwide income in France, and not only the part linked to his consulting activities.
The total amount claimed would amount to more than 5 million euros. This sum includes not only unpaid taxes over several financial years, but also increases for “willful failure”. The administration considers that the expatriation to Dubai was a scheme intended to evade French tax while most of his social, professional and domestic life was in France.
For his part, Samir Nasri does not intend to let this happen and firmly contests this interpretation of the facts. His legal advisors are working to demonstrate that his main residence remains in the Emirates and that his visits to France are dictated by his contractual obligations with the media.
The defense could argue that the number of meal orders does not constitute proof of legal residence, but simply a consumption habit during frequent business trips. However, French jurisprudence is increasingly strict: as soon as a person has permanent accommodation in France and carries out a main professional activity there, they are considered a French tax resident.
The legal battle promises to be long, but it already illustrates a new reality: in the digital age, our mobile applications have become the best aids to public finance inspectors.

Rugby: Stade Toulouse summoned before a disciplinary committee for “exceeding” the “salary cap” in three of the last four seasons
The club, three-time reigning French champion, and already sanctioned several times since 2023, will have to explain itself to the specialized “salary cap” Disciplinary Commission on May 26.
The Toulouse stadium in turmoil. The three-time reigning French champion is summoned on May 26 before the disciplinary committee, notably for “exceeding” the “salary cap” in three of the last four seasons, the National Rugby League (LNR) announced on Sunday April 5.
“The salary cap manager”, who must monitor compliance with the salary cap for Top 14 rugby clubs “has noted several alleged infringements on the part of Stade Toulousain” explains the League press release. He accuses the red and black club of “exceeding the salary cap ceiling” in three of the last four seasons (2021-2022, 2022-2023 and 2024-2025) as well as “failure to comply with the general obligation of transparency and cooperation” from 2021 to 2025.
The most successful club in the history of French rugby (24 championships, 6 European Cups) faces a heavy fine and a recruitment ban. However, the club does not risk sporting sanctions, such as withdrawal of points or demotion, because these were only put in place from the current season.
Stade Toulouse has already been fined 50,000 euros, suspended in 2023, when Springbok winger Cheslin Kolbe left for Toulon. In 2025, he agreed as part of mediation to pay a “contribution” of 1.3 million euros to the LNR as part of the transfer of international fullback Melvyn Jaminet from Perpignan.
At the end of March, the president of Stade Toulouse Didier Lacroix wrote a letter to his counterparts calling on them to reform the salary cap, considering it partially “illegal and inconsistent”. The club also sent a request for repeal of several provisions to the League, which does not intend to follow up. The disagreement could go all the way back to the Council of State.
The reform of the Top 14 salary cap has occupied professional rugby for several months. This season, it includes a fixed amount of 10.7 million euros, which is increased depending on the number of French internationals in the squad.
