The former head of the investigation in France was convicted of the impact of the collection of the trial that involves LVMH

In the crowded Paris Court Hall, the company’s pole was filmed himself as a successful business leader who was working to convert LVMH into the best luxury group in the world, with 75 brands, including Louis Vuitton and Dior, and 200,000 employees worldwide. When Mr. Arnolt first seized the company in the eighties, it only had 10,000 employees.

He denied knowing any illegal observation.

Mr. Squarcini was tried alongside nine other accused – most of them civil service staff, police officers and advisers. Two of them were found not guilty.

As the main defendant in the case, Mr. Squarcini was convicted of countless crimes, including bad information and collusion in the unauthorized activity of a private investigator. It was not guilty of a group of other charges.

In its ruling, the court said that Mr. Squarcini, in particular, “the state’s non -allocated resources to meet the secret concerns” of his main customer, LVMH. The court added that Mr. Squarcini “was designed and validated by a documentary monitoring system” for Mr. Ruffin and a sarcastic publication, Faker, whose employees helped “Merci Patron”, which portrayed Mr. Arnault as a symbol of greed for companies.

“The court has made severe rulings, but with severity commensurate with the seriousness of the attacks by Mr. Squarcini and Acolytes on freedom of the press, freedom of expression, Francois Ruffin and the rights of Fakir,” said Benjamin Sarvati, the lawyer for Mr. Roven, on Thursday. He added: “But we would like to be the trial of LVMH, because today’s convicted people acted at the request of LVMH.”
