The former bodyguard of French President Emmanuel Makron – Alexander Benalla – arrested as part of the investigation of the case on corruption, according to which the Russian entrepreneur Iskander Makhmudov also passes. Reports about it Le Point.
It is about investigating the National Financial Prosecutor’s Office of France regarding the estimated cases of corruption and tax evasion. According to the investigation, Benal could use the official position while working in the Champs Elysée Palace in order to sign a certain security contract. As a subcontractor was chosen by Velours, where Benalla was previously worked. His alleged partner is Vensean Kraz, who was an assistant Benalla and worked at Velours.
The Russian entrepreneur, presumably, also signed a contract. What kind of role the man played in business is not specified. However, Le Point notes that the Spanish investigators have already spent the verification in the Makhmudov case, and they could not find evidence of his fault.
