French Spy Chief Squarcini On Trial For Alleged Corruption - Paris

Former French intelligence head Bernard Squarcini (C) arrives with his lawyers Patrick Maisonneuve (L) and Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard (R) at the court-house for the opening of his trial in which he is accused with nine others of spying on French newspaper Fakir and its owner for French luxury group LVMH, in Paris, France on November 13, 2024. The former head of France’s domestic intelligence agency stands trial accused of spying for Bernard Arnault’s luxury conglomerate, carrying out covert surveillance of a top critic and helping to investigate a blackmail plot. While Bernard Squarcini was called to the stand on Wednesday by Paris judges to face the corruption allegations, neither Arnault, nor the company he controls are on trial. LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE agreed to pay € 10 million as part of a settlement with prosecutors in 2021 that didn’t include any admission of guilt. Photo by Florian Poitout/ABACAPRESS.COM
