Marco Mouly, one of the protagonists in the carbon quota scam affair, announced to Mediapart that he was going on the run. The courts requested his detention in the context of a previous case.

“What do you want me to do?” Well yeah, I defy the police…”,did he declare. The media was unable to verify his location, or even if he was really on the go. In 2016, the man who is nicknamed the ‘king of scam’, since the documentary mini-series of the same name on Netflix, had already gone on the runs.
