Alexis Kohler, right arm of Emmanuel Macron, who is his wife Sylvie?

New court case in the entourage of Emmanuel Macron. After Éric Dupond-Moretti, who was referred to the Court of Cassation for illegal taking of interests, it is the turn of Alexis Kohler to be put on trialMonday, October 3, for conflict of interest. The secretary general of the Élysée is suspected of having, on several occasions, made decisions as a public official in companies linked to the MSC group, founded and directed by his mother’s cousins, the Aponte family. Thus, while he sat between 2010 and 2012 on the board of directors of STX France, of which the Italian-Swiss shipowner was the main client, he also worked at the State Participations Agency. According to an article by Mediapart, published in 2018, he took part in the discussions and votes in favor of MSC.

In the midst of controversy, Alexis Kohler can count on the support of those close to him, and above all, on that of his wife Sylvie Schirm. It was in 2003 that the secretary general of the Élysée married this Alsatian author of novels and plays. After working for three years at France Culture, she joined the Hermès company in the United States for several years. Back in France, she got a job as co-director from the coaching company Iciprodto which several LREM deputies have called, in particular to help them speak in public, specifies Gala. Portrayed by The Express as “as extroverted as her husband is reserved”Sylvie Schrim is mother of three childrenborn of her marriage to Alexis Kohler: Pauline, Victoire and Cyprien.

The “excessive activities” of Alexis Kohler’s wife

Discreet about their private life, Alexis Kohler and Sylvie Schrim make it a point of honor to find each other despite busy schedules, if we are to believe an article by The Express which, in July 2017, depicted a typical morning for the two spouses. “Every morning, Alexis Kohler drops off his son at school and has coffee with his wife”we could thus read, noting however a small difficulty: “If the exercise is more and more complicated, it is because Madame has overflowing professional activities.” For his part, Alexis Kholer remains in his post with the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron despite his indictment, and “forcefully denies having committed any offence”.
