Casino Group Opts Not to Appeal Criminal Sentence

On February 9, 2026, Casino Group announced its decision not to appeal the criminal sentence issued by the Paris Criminal Court on January 29. The court imposed a fine of 40 million euros for incidents during 2018-2019, with 20 million euros suspended. The company has, however, decided to challenge the court's calculation of civil damages related to the case.

This decision follows a comprehensive review by Casino of its legal strategy and potential repercussions on its operations. While opting not to contest the criminal ruling, the group's focus will remain on reassessing the financial implications and addressing the matter of civil liability.
