French billionaire and media mogul Vincent Bolloré officially retired on Thursday this week, the day of the family business bicentenary, without having clearly designated his successor. It came just a day after a group launched an appeal to denounce his increasingly "tentacular" media empire.
"It is impossible to know when he will decide to complete his withdrawal," a source told French news agency AFP, adding that "even if he does, he will still keep the control tower of the Compagnie de l'Odet" which he presides.
