No penalty may be imposed for offences that are more than two years old, or where the person concerned has already been convicted of the same offence by a criminal court or has benefited from a final decision dismissing the case or acquitting the offender, stating that the offence has not been established or that the offender is not responsible for the offence.
If such a decision of dismissal or acquittal is made after a penalty has been imposed by Pôle emploi, the penalty is automatically reviewed.
If, following the imposition of a penalty by Pôle emploi, a criminal fine is imposed for the same offence, the penalty will be deducted from that fine.
