However, while the courts ruled that the evidence should not have been destroyed, there was no malicious intent found behind Daubigny's actions.[10] [11]

Tax evasion case

He and his wife allegedly failed to file their income taxes with the authorities for several years, evading approximately €190,000, as well as allegedly failing to pay local housing and property taxes.[9] In September 2017, he was tried for tax fraud from the years 2011 to 2014, with previous years having surpassed the statute of limitations.[12] The charges potentially carried a one year suspended prison sentence and a €50,000 fine, though he claimed that a blockage prevented him from opening administrative mail; he had not declared his income in 2016 or 2017 and had not asserted his pension rights even though he no longer worked.[13] [14] On 3 November 2017, he was sentenced to an eight month suspended prison sentence.[15] In 2019, he was barred from wearing the Legion of Honour for three years.[16]
