PARIS, March 7 — A Paris court today found the former head of France’s domestic security services, Bernard Squarcini, guilty of using public resources to benefit LVMH, in a trial that shed light on efforts by the world’s biggest luxury group to shield its image.
Squarcini, who headed France’s domestic security services from 2008 to 2012, was later hired by LVMH as a security consultant.
Squarcini was also found to be complicit in the illegal surveillance of Francois Ruffin, a French lawmaker who at the time was an activist, along with members of his left-wing publication Fakir as they planned to disrupt an LVMH shareholder meeting and prepared their satirical documentary film “Merci Patron”.
