US EditionFrench masonic lodge at heart of murky murder trial
The trial involves 22 defendants including former intelligence agents accused of murder, conspiracy, and running hit squads for a criminal network inside the Athanor Masonic Lodge.
- On Monday, 22 defendants stood trial in France for murder and criminal conspiracy charges linked to a mafia network operating within the Athanor Masonic Lodge in Puteaux.
- A botched July 2020 contract killing targeting business coach Marie-Helene Dini triggered the investigation, implicating Athanor Freemasons Jean-Luc Bagur, Frederic Vaglio, and Daniel Beaulieu as alleged ringleaders.
- The dock includes four DGSE officers, three police officers, and six business executives, with 13 defendants facing potential life imprisonment for their roles in the alleged hit squad activities.
- Alleged hitman Sebastien Leroy claimed Daniel Beaulieu 'manipulated' him into believing he was working as a government informant for the DGSI spy agency during the attacks.
- Defense lawyer Jean-William Vezinet described the involvement as 'terrifying,' noting that accused police officers and former DGSI agents were supposed to protect society, not exploit it.
