Bernard Arnault, CEO of LVMH, is scheduled to testify today in the trial of former intelligence chief Bernard Squarcini, who is accused of using his network to gain confidential information and privileges for the luxury group.
A lawyer for François Ruffin, a civil party in the case, has summoned Arnault to discuss surveillance operations conducted between 2013 and 2016 against the newspaper Fakir and Ruffin, who has since become a deputy. At that time, Ruffin directed the satirical film 'Merci Patron,' which won the César Award for Best Documentary in 2017.
