Address: Brive-la-Gaillarde · Directions ↗

The criminal court of Brive has ruled in the favouritism case over the 2018 award of the contract for the health training centre, the town's nursing school (IFSI). A company passed over for the project had raised suspicions of favouritism towards the firm that eventually won the job. Eight years after the events, the local authorities, the companies prosecuted and the chair of the tender committee were all cleared. The former deputy director general of the Brive agglomeration, however, was fined 15,000 euros, 10,000 of them suspended, and the project manager of Brive's public local company 8,000 euros, 5,000 of them suspended.
