A Paris court has found the former head of France's domestic security services, Bernard Squarcini, guilty of influence-peddling and using public resources to benefit LVMH. The trial shed light on efforts by LVMH – the world's biggest luxury group – to protect its reputation.
Squarcini, 69, headed France's domestic security services from 2008 to 2012 and was later hired by luxury giant LVMH as a security consultant.
