This article comes from my master’s degree thesis, I’ve realized fifteen interviews of judges and prosecution lawyers of financial jurisdiction in Paris and Lyons and observed numerous audiences. I’ll demonstrate how the introduction in the French justice system of new public management reforms and procedures inspired from Deferred Prosecution Agreements results in a differential management of illegalisms among white-collar crimes. The individualization of the punishment is the cornerstone of this differential management of illegalisms: for the haves-not it consists in the exertion of disciplinary power, for the haves it is the means of the negotiation of the conditions of the punishment. This inequality stems more from the practices of the magistrates than from an inequality written in law. As the illegalisms of the privileged have become a priority of the penal system, they succeeded in defusing most sanctions, sometimes even to profit from their contacts with the institution.
