A trial has been requested for eleven people including the ex-boss of internal intelligence Bernard Squarcini in a vast investigation into troubled links between figures of the police, intelligence and private interests, in particular LVMH, indicated Tuesday January 3 to the 'AFP a source familiar with the matter.
The Paris prosecutor's office confirmed that it had requested on December 23 that Bernard Squarcini be tried in particular for passive influence peddling, forgery in public writing and complicity and concealment of violation of professional secrecy and instruction.
These requisitions do not concern the luxury group LVMH, which paid a fine of 10 million euros at the end of 2021 to avoid prosecution for influence peddling.
