Charles Pieri suffered a brain haemorrhage


The former Corsican nationalist leader Charles Pieri was extracted from his prison in Toulon, and admitted to hospital prison in Marseille following a cerebral hemorrhage, said to AFP Wednesday his lawyer, Eric Barbolosi. "We do not go very far from the disaster; Charles Pieri complained for several days of headaches and we have warned the prison director and the magistrate who decided last Thursday of his hospitalization" said his lawyer contacted by telephone in Paris. According Barbolosi Me, the nationalist leader could have been the victim of a cerebral vascular accident (stroke). "I will request a medical examination to see if his condition is compatible with the prison and, if not, I will request a suspension of sentence for medical reasons," he said. Charles Pieri, 58, was sentenced to eight years in prison for various abuses of corporate assets used to fund his lifestyle and his underground movement. "It still has a dozen months to be served," said his lawyer.
