00:00This program is intended for an adult audience. We prefer to warn you of this.
00:30S'embora ta, attara, des Sanguinis chapara, maipiou.
00:39If he did not escape your shadow, there where the tomb was veiled.
00:46Imra told me...
00:48Richard Casanova can rejoice.
00:50At just 30 years old, the youngest member of the Brise de Mer has become one of its key players.
00:56An exceptional strategist who will soon demonstrate the full extent of his talent.
01:06The case that would propel the Bastia clan to the top of organized crime took place in Geneva on Sunday the 25th.
01:12March 1990.
01:13The Swiss are still reeling from it.
01:15An old-up record was committed yesterday in a branch of the Union Bank of Switzerland in Geneva.
01:20Four armed criminals make off with 200 kilos of foreign currency banknotes.
01:24The total sum is still around 150 million francs.
01:30That day, they were going to pull off the UBS heist, which would be one of the heists of the century, one of the
01:34biggest heist in organized crime.
01:37The biggest feat of arms was the UBS heist.
01:40That's a jackpot, a really big one.
01:42Tonight, not a trace in sight, the gangsters have flown off with their treasure.
01:50It has all the ingredients of an Ocean's Eleven-style action movie.
01:53The most surprising thing about this case is that there was no break-in or activation of the
01:57alarm signal.
01:59There is no need for breaking and entering, no need for violence.
02:02So it's the perfect heist.
02:03Everything was perfectly polished, perfectly organized, quick and efficient.
02:10And that's where we see that Richard Casanova is the brains.
02:13because he is the one who will organize, prepare and coordinate.
02:24In Switzerland as in France, the golden age of robberies is well and truly over.
02:29Finish the braquots in the style of the wig gang.
02:33In the early 1990s, new security systems were the bane of robbers.
02:43For the breeze, however, there remains a Holy Grail to be attained.
02:47These prestigious banks, built like fortresses.
02:53Geneva is, after all, the capital of money, the capital of the richest banks.
02:57So obviously, for a robber, for a gang of robbers, it's an objective.
03:02It's an exceptional heist, especially since it targets a place that is, for the Swiss, in
03:06In any case, the breast of the five.
03:08This is one of the largest banks in Geneva, renowned for being impregnable.
03:14When you understand how it works, it seems to sink in.
03:18in a Gruyère cheese, in this case.
03:19It's a matter of Swiss cheese.
03:24On the police side, the man who will be at the center of this case of the century is named Marco Matille.
03:30Recently promoted to the rank of chief inspector, at just 35 years old, he is the rising star of the police force.
03:36from Geneva.
03:39On Sunday, March 25, 1990, I was at the office with my colleagues.
03:44I received a call about a hold-up robbery, stating that a very important hold-up had been committed at the
03:51nerve center of UBS.
03:55And off we go.
03:59Marco Matille goes to the sky of the Union Bank of Switzerland, in the historic heart of the city.
04:07Access to the bank office is through this shopping arcade.
04:11The Lyons Passage.
04:20When I get home, I can indeed see the witnesses who have been tied up.
04:25We are treating them, because one of them was injured.
04:30And then afterwards, in the room a little further away, we discover a guard who has been seriously injured.
04:38And so, an ambulance is brought to the scene to treat the individuals who have been taken hostage.
04:45Next, we enter the premises of the foreign exchange service.
04:51where, there, you can really see quite a lot of money on the ground.
04:54We're walking on banknotes.
04:59We just know not to kick stacks of billions of dollars out of anger and
05:03of completely different currencies.
05:10And then on the other side, too, there are chests that have been emptied.
05:14So it's quite impressive at the time.
05:16And then we realize that there must be a very, very, very big haul.
05:23A haul that must first be meticulously and patiently counted, taking into account all the missing currency.
05:32And after a few days, the number drops.
05:38We calculated it to be 32 million Swiss francs in Swiss franc value.
05:4432 million Swiss francs would represent today an equivalent sum of 45 million euros.
05:51A windfall that weighs very heavily.
05:54That's 220 kilos of paper.
05:57And here you have 220 kilos of jokes to deal with.
06:00It's used money.
06:03They are crumpled banknotes, but there are 220 kilos of them with an enormous sum of money.
06:11According to initial findings by the police, the alarms have been neutralized.
06:17No doors or safes were forced or broken into.
06:22So, very quickly, a conclusion is necessary.
06:26We immediately understood that the information was coming from within and that we needed the codes.
06:32So the codes are handled by someone who works on-site.
06:35So there's a guard, maybe who's there, who must be involved.
06:39It's not possible otherwise.
06:44The police begin their investigation around the guards.
06:47They suspect at least two people, but interrogations, surveillance and wiretaps yield nothing.
06:54So they broaden their investigation.
06:58Quite quickly, the director, Mr. Arnott, who is the director of all these services,
07:03He tells us about his secretary and her husband.
07:08So this is Michel Ferrari.
07:13He told us that he might be very close friends with a security guard
07:16and also with someone who works within the foreign exchange service,
07:23to the accounting department and who is in possession of the codes.
07:26So we already have, if you will, a triangulation that holds up somewhat.
07:32This Michel Ferrari is a funny character.
07:36Sports coach and tennis instructor at 4 p.m.
07:39and whose slightly agitated attitude immediately attracts the attention of the police.
07:48They're putting Michel Ferrari under telephone surveillance.
07:52And that's how we gently learn that he was very angry.
07:55because he was the one who organized the robbery,
07:58that he had given everything to Corsicans
08:00and that the people who had carried out the robbery had not paid him.
08:05Two months after the UBS robbery,
08:07Michel Ferrari is arrested in Geneva
08:09and doesn't immediately realize what's happening to him.
08:13"They told me, 'I'm Ferrari, okay, but you're under arrest.'"
08:20"I said, yeah, okay."
08:21"I started asking questions, and they said, we know everything, there's this, this, this.
08:24»
08:24"I said, I was completely taken aback when he told me that."
08:28"Because, as I was saying, how do they know all this?"
08:32To trace the link between Michel Ferrari and his very enigmatic Corsicans,
08:36Commissioner Maty begins by doing what is called in police jargon,
08:40the environment, and is primarily interested in the more or less avowable activities of Michel Ferrari.
08:47"We quickly learn that Ferrari often visits the middle of France"
08:52to handle silver ingots
08:55which are integrated into the foreign exchange department of UBS.
09:01For the past few years, the tennis coach has therefore taken on the role of a courier carrying suitcases of cash.
09:06of jewelry or ingots, between France and Switzerland,
09:09for wealthy clients wanting to evade French taxes.
09:13An illegal activity, but one that the Swiss authorities willingly turn a blind eye to.
09:19"The Swiss, they accepted everything, they opened the doors,
09:21"We brought the money, and everything just fell into place."
09:26Through this activity, Michel Ferrari became acquainted with some employees at UBS headquarters.
09:30and especially those who work in the foreign exchange service.
09:35Currencies from all over the world pass through these offices.
09:38very large sums of money, locked in a dozen of his safes.
09:47One of the accountants in this department happens to be Michel Ferrari's regular partner.
09:51for some wild squash games.
09:55And between setbacks and forehands, the employee reveals his innermost feelings.
09:59"I asked him how things work at the bank."
10:01“I told him, ‘You don’t even realize, every day there are…’”
10:03'Money is coming in.'
10:04"I told him, 'And then there are the safes.'"
10:06"I told him, 'Everyone knows the safe numbers.'"
10:10"The safe codes haven't been changed for 8 years."
10:13"It was at that moment that I thought, 'Hey, maybe there's something to
10:15TO DO. "
10:16And I told him about it.
10:18He told me, "I'm going to look into how we can get the safe numbers."
10:23"I told him, 'With this, we might be able to do something.'"
10:27The idea of a robbery at the UBS bank begins to take root in Michel's mind.
10:31Ferrari.
10:33But this is still just a somewhat crazy, insane fantasy for this suitcase carrier.
10:38who doesn't see himself suddenly turning into a robber.
10:43Ferrari is simply someone who says
10:46"Well, there you have it, a way to maybe make some money, even if it's dishonest, I'm going to..."
10:51TO DO. "
10:51But he's not a gangster, he doesn't have that mentality.
10:55Loin doesn't care about that, by the way.
10:58It was then that fate placed three men in Michel Ferrari's path.
11:02Three Corsicans in transit in Geneva, who want to smuggle a large sum of money.
11:09They are well dressed, clean, somewhat businesslike, with a business style.
11:15I stayed with them for a week, talking, eating together, all that.
11:21The Corsicans do not reveal their true identity.
11:25But in reality, these three men are Joël and Jacques Patacchini, as well as André Benedetti.
11:31Three men with extensive criminal records who belong to the inner circle of the sea breeze.
11:38Their names appear in several cases, bank robberies or armored truck heists, alongside members of the core group.
11:45hard from the breeze.
11:49But at the time, Michel Ferrari knew nothing about the Bastier clan.
11:55I knew these Corsicans weren't very honest people.
11:58And that's when I started asking them questions.
12:03I told them, are you capable of carrying out a hold-up, of making a helmet?
12:07That's when they told me, yes, we do that often.
12:10Even though I didn't know what they had done before, I told them, that's good, I
12:14I was happy.
12:15I was happy, I had found people who were officially good at doing this thing.
12:26That was the first meeting.
12:28But at the moment, he just acts apathetic and leaves.
12:31And the Corsicans tell him, we'll get back in touch in January.
12:35Often, it happens this way because you have to know that the breeze, most of their breakage, c
12:39'These are given matters.'
12:40You need a connection with someone who has access to the bank, and to be in the right place at the right time.
12:44In fact.
12:45And that's what happened.
12:49For several months, Jacques Patacchini held numerous meetings with Michel Ferrari to assess the reliability of
12:55this information.
12:58The Corsicans don't take unnecessary risks.
13:01They first take the time to assess who this Ferrari and its accomplices are, to see if it holds up.
13:07road.
13:07At the time, I didn't have all the information about the codes, about the chests.
13:11We still had a large chest to discover, with the keys, the codes, all that.
13:16We didn't have it.
13:19And by chance, the colleague who was in the bank found the code under a cardboard box.
13:26And the keys, by chance.
13:30He told me, OK, I have the code and everything, we can do it and all.
13:33At that point, I said OK.
13:37But codes are not enough.
13:38It is also necessary to be able to enter the bank's offices and access the famous foreign currency department.
13:45Michel Ferrari and his accomplice then managed to convince one of the UBS security guards to do the
13:51hit them out.
13:53Now, everything is in order.
13:58Thanks to his accomplices, the robbers benefited from a maximum amount of information.
14:02making the execution of the hold-up completely easier.
14:06In Michel Ferrari's mind, there was only one team on the Corsican side, the one led by Jacques
14:11Patacchini.
14:13What he doesn't know is that in Bastia, the matter was discussed right in the middle of the takeover
14:17of the sea.
14:18And the clan's board of directors established a strategy.
14:23First, cover your tracks.
14:25Those who were awarded the case will not be the ones who carry it out.
14:30The organization of CAS will now be entrusted to the expert of the Bastia clan in this area.
14:37He's the leader of the commando, it's indeed Casanova.
14:43Richard is in charge.
14:45He's the one who will check everything down to the smallest detail.
14:48with that very perfectionist side of him.
14:51However, he needs to remain in the shadows.
14:53He shouldn't expose himself.
14:58To proceed under cover, Richard Casanova will first send to Geneva,
15:03in contact with Michel Ferrari, another member of the core of the breeze.
15:09Alexandre Chevrière, known for his calm and discretion.
15:15Jacques Patacchini arrives with a man named Chevrière.
15:18He explains to her that it's his friend and that he's the one who will carry out the robbery.
15:22because there will be one part that will prepare it and one part that will execute it.
15:27So now Ferrari finds itself facing these two people.
15:30He takes them to the location.
15:38I distrust these people.
15:40I said, to ensure our safety, we need to take pictures of them.
15:47I asked my brother-in-law to take these photos.
15:52He was upstairs in a restaurant.
15:54No one could see it.
15:59That's the famous photo that's in the file.
16:01The three of them are together in the square in Fusterie.
16:11These photos were taken by Michel Ferrari's brother-in-law.
16:13Jacques Patacchini can be seen in the centre and Alexandre Chevrière on the left.
16:21For Ferrari, these photos are primarily a kind of precaution.
16:28I'm only doing this to get proof that they came to Geneva.
16:32And in case things go wrong, I have photos to use against them too, if they...
16:39'sink in.
16:42They don't wear too much makeup.
16:43There, they wear glasses, they are well dressed.
16:45They don't stay with him for too long.
16:48They go to the location in the Lyons passage to see where the entrance is.
16:53And then Patacchini said, for the rest, we'll organize ourselves.
16:56We'll see each other again soon.
17:00In reality, Michel Ferrari will not see Jacques Patacchini again.
17:04who has just passed the baton to the second team.
17:08For Richard Casanova, one doubt remains to be cleared up.
17:12That of the strength of the complicity within the bank.
17:16And for that, he knows he's going to have to get his hands dirty.
17:22Casanova, his thing is to sniff people out.
17:24Listen to them to see what they're made of.
17:26That's its strength.
17:27And that's why he's going to make contact.
17:31To test the Swiss people's determination,
17:33Casanova had this somewhat crazy idea.
17:36Having access to foreign currency services,
17:38even before the break-in.
17:41In other words,
17:42organize a reconnaissance trip to explore the locations
17:44and check the codes.
17:47That means being confronted by the bank
17:50and go back into the bank,
17:51without there being any gold.
17:54This incredibly audacious scouting operation
17:56must take place one evening,
17:58after the offices close.
18:01I had what was needed for the employees
18:04who were at another balance
18:06so they can let them in.
18:09On the day of the site visit,
18:11Alexandre Chevrière presents to Michel Ferrari
18:13two other characters.
18:16They are all in disguise
18:17in the style of a gang of wigs.
18:19Casanova is here.
18:20among them,
18:22unrecognizable.
18:25There was always a new one
18:26who was with them.
18:27I told him,
18:28But what's going on?
18:29They come with the whole family and everything.
18:36Casanova,
18:36He was with two other people.
18:39They went into the vault.
18:41and there,
18:41They had access to everything.
18:43But everything, right?
18:45They could have left
18:46with two bags,
18:48like that,
18:48quiet.
18:49But anyway,
18:50Why leave again, perhaps?
18:51with two million,
18:52while there was
18:53Much more to take?
18:55Everything was disconnected.
18:57Everything had been removed.
18:58Islam wasn't working.
19:01It lasted for more than an hour.
19:03They visited
19:04and they realized
19:05that it was credible.
19:08They said,
19:08but we're going back
19:09as in a mill,
19:11in this bank.
19:12I told him,
19:12Yes,
19:13I told you so.
19:17The date is March 17, 1990
19:20and after this initial assessment,
19:22it is now necessary to determine
19:23a date for the heist.
19:26And this is new information,
19:28the day after,
19:29which will hasten the decision.
19:32It was agreed
19:33between Ferrari
19:34and the robbers
19:36that Ferrari gives the signal
19:38when there was
19:39a large influx of money
19:40in the service.
19:42And then,
19:42on Friday,
19:44There's a large influx of money
19:45who is coming?
19:46of the Bank of Morocco.
19:48An influx of money
19:49who comes to double
19:50the sleeping sum
19:51in the vaults of UBS.
19:54So Casanova decides
19:55that the heist will have to take place
19:57starting the following Sunday
19:59and summons the Swiss accomplices
20:01to finalize the last details.
20:05Michel Ferrari,
20:06accompanied by his two accomplices,
20:09realizes
20:09in this apartment
20:10that he rented
20:10on request
20:11by Jacques Patakini.
20:14Not very, very far
20:15from UBS,
20:17he receives
20:18Goatherd
20:19and Richard Casanova.
20:22Richard Casanova,
20:23I saw it
20:24the day before the robbery.
20:28A guy
20:29young,
20:31handsome guy
20:31All.
20:32Around thirty years old,
20:34serious,
20:35A little
20:36pretentious.
20:38If Casanova
20:39finally decided
20:40to show
20:41with their faces uncovered,
20:42it's to put
20:43the pressure
20:44to the three Swiss accomplices.
20:46No way.
20:47that one of them
20:47The challenge is made at the last moment.
20:50It was very tense.
20:51They were a bit threatening
20:52everyone.
20:53Then they suggest
20:54that if we don't do it,
20:57This is going to go badly
21:00and that they did not come
21:01For nothing.
21:04These are threats
21:04underlying.
21:12The robbers
21:13receive
21:14that day
21:14the way
21:15which is necessary
21:16to release
21:17the alarms
21:18which are affixed
21:18on the chests
21:19and the combinations
21:21to open them.
21:24Finally,
21:25Ferrari gives
21:26to Casanova
21:26a key,
21:27that of a discreet house
21:29apart
21:29from the city center
21:30where the robbers
21:31will come to drop off
21:32their share of the loot
21:33to the three Swiss accomplices.
21:35They promised them
21:36half,
21:37or the equivalent
21:38of 22 million euros.
21:42At that moment,
21:43I said
21:43that they will do it.
21:45Anyway,
21:46in my thesis,
21:47I told myself
21:47that with all that money,
21:50there are enough
21:51for everyone.
21:59The morning of the robbery,
22:00exactly,
22:00Sunday morning,
22:02I woke up.
22:03I hardly have any
22:03slept all night.
22:04I sat down
22:05questions.
22:06I told myself
22:06What's going to happen?
22:07Today ?
22:07It's a great day,
22:09A bad day or a good day?
22:13While Michel Ferrari
22:14is consumed with worry,
22:16at 7:40 a.m.,
22:18a car and a van
22:19park near the BS.
22:22At 7:45 a.m.,
22:24the guard at the service entrance,
22:25one of Ferrari's accomplices,
22:27opens to the robber.
22:35They arrive in the airlock,
22:37Then they digress.
22:38they put on the gag
22:39to our accomplice,
22:41and then the others
22:42who had been locked up
22:42in the service premises.
22:49At 8 a.m.,
22:50the robbers invest
22:51the foreign currency service.
22:56The guards hear in the distance,
22:57the chests opened
22:58One after the other.
23:03To be precise,
23:05School was complicated,
23:08it was turning
23:09on one side,
23:09then on the other side,
23:10That, that, that.
23:13We realize
23:14that they are indeed
23:15people
23:16very well-informed,
23:17very methodical.
23:19The tracks,
23:20There are none.
23:21The work is well done.
23:24The robbers will even
23:25afford the luxury
23:26to make their choice
23:27between the various
23:28foreign currencies.
23:31You have in this service
23:33Central African francs
23:34piles of coins
23:35second-hand
23:36which don't bring in much money,
23:38then who create
23:39a problem with currency exchange.
23:41So, they really
23:43focused on strong currencies.
23:45They sorted through it.
23:45They had all the time in the world.
23:47An hour and a half.
23:49At 9:20 a.m.,
23:50two vehicles enter
23:51in the shopping mall
23:52and they stand guard in front of the entrance.
23:56Dozens of bags
23:58containing 220 kilos
23:59tickets are loaded
24:01and the robbers
24:02leave the premises.
24:12Three kilometers away,
24:14Michel Ferrari doesn't know
24:15that the blow he dreams of
24:16for months
24:18has just succeeded.
24:21I waited all morning.
24:23until the moment
24:25where I saw information
24:26on Swiss television
24:28which shows what a big heist
24:29had been done at UBS,
24:31at the bank,
24:31but that no one
24:32had not been injured.
24:349:38 this morning,
24:35Passage des Lyons,
24:37a passerby discovers
24:38a man with a bayonet
24:39in the service lodge
24:39of the Union Bank of Switzerland,
24:41where are
24:41control panels
24:43from the bank.
24:43The passerby alerted the police.
24:46She delivers 4 men
24:47held captive in the lodge.
24:48Oh well, I'm very happy!
24:50We managed to open
24:51about ten chests
24:52of foreign currencies,
24:54200 kilos of banknotes stolen.
24:56Michel Ferrari is ecstatic
24:58and no longer stays in place.
25:01He now needs to recover
25:02his share and that
25:03of his accomplices.
25:05The Corsicans have already
25:07had to put it in the house
25:08of which he had left
25:09the key to Casanova.
25:12I didn't really dare to go there.
25:13because I said
25:14if the cops are there
25:15and get picked up.
25:16I was there in the evening,
25:17In my opinion.
25:18Time is ticking,
25:19he waits
25:20and a few hours later,
25:22No one came.
25:23So then, I said
25:24that there is a big problem
25:26for the future.
25:29In shock,
25:31Michel Ferrari
25:32takes a few days
25:32to face the facts.
25:35They didn't
25:36given our share
25:37because they wanted to,
25:40speaking in Belgian French,
25:41we kiss.
25:42That's all.
25:43They said to each other
25:43that they are little Swiss,
25:44we have 15 million more
25:45to be shared among ourselves.
25:49Michel Ferrari
25:50got tricked
25:51by its robbers
25:53because,
25:54First of all,
25:54I think he considers it
25:55like a cave
25:56and it's not Ferrari
25:57who will take revenge.
25:58We are in complete agreement.
26:01The cellar,
26:02that is by definition,
26:03in the environment,
26:04the one who will never
26:05to be a part of it.
26:06In other words,
26:08the useful idiot.
26:11The cellar,
26:12it's someone
26:12that we use
26:13and that we throw
26:14like a Kleenex
26:16from behind.
26:16So, indeed.
26:17it's someone
26:17which was used
26:18then, in quotation marks,
26:19thrown away like a handkerchief
26:21not clean.
26:23malicious tongues
26:24will add about
26:25by Michel Ferrari
26:26that he was on this heist
26:28The cellar of the century.
26:35Bastia,
26:35the sea breeze exults
26:37and celebrates its success
26:38with his loved ones
26:39and lifelong friends
26:41without really hiding.
26:46They will tell in Bastia
26:47that there were so many
26:48chests to open
26:50that in fact,
26:51they no longer knew
26:51give him head.
26:52And everyone applauded
26:53This is a heist at this Swiss bank.
26:55Everyone was saying
26:55They are so strong!
26:57They are so strong.
27:08From his prison cell,
27:10Francis Mariani
27:11He too is enjoying it
27:12his clan's victory
27:13and that of his friend
27:15Richard Casanova.
27:21But what they don't know,
27:23that's because in Geneva,
27:24Michel Ferrari
27:25is determined
27:26to counter-attack.
27:29He wants to recover
27:30his money,
27:30He wants to go back up.
27:31to have a maximum
27:32information
27:33on those
27:34who committed
27:34the hold-up.
27:36I thought
27:36recover the money
27:37with photos.
27:40I hadn't told him
27:41that I had taken photos.
27:43Michel Ferrari
27:44wants to find
27:45the Corsican trail
27:46and pass them on
27:47a message
27:48in the form of a threat.
27:50Either he is paid
27:50And quickly.
27:52either he balances
27:52the photos
27:53to the police.
27:55He wants to go back
27:56on them,
27:56go find them.
27:57In any case,
27:57he's already sending
27:59his brother-in-law
28:00take photos
28:01over there
28:01with a friend.
28:04Michel Ferrari
28:05managed to find
28:06the names
28:06from his first contacts
28:07on the matter.
28:09Those of the Patakini brothers
28:10and André Benedetti.
28:13In Corsica,
28:14the expedition led
28:15by the brother-in-law
28:16therefore aims
28:16to find
28:17these characters
28:18to the surname
28:19very common here.
28:21When there is
28:22wagons
28:22of Patakini,
28:23Benedetti and all that,
28:24a choice had to be made
28:25The good ones.
28:26But in the end,
28:27They found it.
28:27Find the Benedetti
28:28who was in front
28:29his doorstep.
28:33He is taking a risk
28:34huge
28:35by sending
28:35his brother-in-law
28:36in Corsica
28:37to take photos
28:39of the house
28:40by Benedetti.
28:44They did
28:44the photos
28:45And I saw it.
28:46I saw that it was him.
28:47It was at that moment
28:48that we started
28:49to call.
28:52I told them
28:52that they are paid
28:53otherwise.
28:53We're going to disclose
28:54the photos,
28:55you will have problems
28:55and all that.
28:58Ferrari,
28:58they do not surrender
28:59I don't even count
28:59that they execute
29:00their own cousins
29:01or their own brothers
29:02if they have to do it
29:03in the frame
29:04of a settling of scores.
29:07Despite his insistence
29:08and its threats,
29:10Michel Ferrari
29:10clashes
29:11to the silence of the Corsicans.
29:14I think
29:15that the Corsicans
29:16They despise him.
29:18For them,
29:18It doesn't matter.
29:19Why is this
29:19that we would go out of our way to get involved
29:20to eliminate it?
29:22He can't do anything.
29:26The agitation
29:26by Michel Ferrari
29:27will not have
29:28only one effect.
29:29That of bringing
29:30to Commissioner Matil
29:31who is watching him
29:32for several weeks
29:33all the evidence
29:34of his involvement
29:35in the case of UBS.
29:49Ferrari comes clean
29:51and refers to the Corsicans
29:52who betrayed him.
29:54An arrest warrant
29:55is delivered
29:55against Richard Casanova
29:57and his accomplices
29:58presumed victims of the maritime seizure.
30:08For Marco Matil
30:09then begins
30:10the Corsican investigation.
30:13We're heading down to Corsica
30:15And then...
30:17Effectively,
30:18Corsica,
30:18It's a magnificent country.
30:19that I love
30:20but for surveillance purposes,
30:22that's still
30:22very special
30:23and very difficult.
30:25When we go
30:26in the villages,
30:28you arrive at a square
30:29where there is
30:29a grandfather,
30:30two grandmothers
30:31who look at you askance
30:32with a young
30:33who says
30:33What is he doing here?
30:34You turn around,
30:35you leave
30:36because you can
30:36not to take a position
30:37to carry out surveillance,
30:39It's practically impossible.
30:42Very quickly,
30:43Commissioner Matil
30:43takes the temperature
30:44places
30:45and understands that here,
30:47you have to make
30:47very discreet.
30:50SO,
30:51one morning,
30:51at 6 o'clock,
30:52we decide
30:53to intervene.
30:55SO,
30:55we get into position
30:55in the bush
30:56close
30:57from where he lives
30:57the Patakini family
30:59and then,
31:00when one is
31:01in the bushes,
31:02There are many of us.
31:03There are perhaps 25 of us.
31:04we hide
31:05and all of a sudden,
31:07there's a guy
31:07who tells us
31:07"Look,
31:09There is a gentleman,
31:10he leaves the house
31:11Patakini shoes
31:12he's a grandpa
31:13with white hair,
31:13he enters a
31:14White Mercedes
31:15practically new
31:16And he comes.
31:17he goes up the path
31:18and the guy,
31:19He is coming towards us.
31:21he gets out of the car
31:21"Oh, the police!"
31:23Oh, the police!
31:24I know you're there!
31:27The Patakini,
31:28they told me
31:29"Make the coffee"
31:30for these people,
31:31We left.
31:32Make the coffee for them!
31:35Effectively,
31:36We got up,
31:37we addressed
31:37to this gentleman,
31:38He burst out laughing.
31:39He went back up
31:40in the Mercedes
31:41"Follow me!"
31:42And he left again.
31:46That was to say
31:47“You are on my turf,”
31:49I'm the one in charge
31:51"On my land!"
31:52And indeed,
31:53We realized that.
31:54quite quickly
31:55than on Corsica,
31:57The Corsicans are in charge.
32:01It will take 17 months
32:02to find
32:03one of the Corsicans
32:03appointed by Michel Ferrari.
32:06André Benedetti
32:08is questioned
32:09at his home,
32:10hidden in a piece of furniture
32:11housing a washing machine.
32:17Three months later,
32:19Jacques Patacchini
32:19is arrested in Nice.
32:24The two Corsican thugs
32:26are sent to Geneva
32:27as a simple witness
32:28in the trial
32:29by Michel Ferrari
32:30and his accomplices.
32:33Before the court,
32:34Of course,
32:35the two Corsicans
32:36deny any involvement
32:37in the heist.
32:39UBS's lawyer
32:41then wonders
32:42André Benedetti.
32:44He asks her,
32:45he told him
32:45“But Mr. Benedetti,
32:46So what were you doing?
32:47"In this washing machine?"
32:48And he doesn't back down at all.
32:50He said, "Mr. Lawyer,
32:51I was laundering.
32:55The time limit is set.
32:56The Corsicans will say nothing else.
32:59Nothing that could soften the blow
33:00the sentence of 7 and a half years
33:01pronounced against
33:02Michel Ferrari
33:03and his Swiss accomplices.
33:05A sentence deemed very harsh
33:07by the person concerned.
33:09They judged the case
33:11from UBS
33:12compared with
33:13to the sum of money.
33:14What shouldn't have been done
33:15in Switzerland.
33:16Don't touch the banks.
33:17Do you see what I mean?
33:18That's it.
33:18It was worse than a crime
33:20what we did.
33:21Worse than a crime.
33:24On the Swiss side,
33:25The matter is settled.
33:29But on the French side,
33:31The investigation is stalled.
33:32Because Richard Casanova,
33:34under arrest warrant
33:34regarding the UBS case,
33:36remains untraceable.
33:38As if he had simply
33:39volatilized into nature.
33:42Just as much
33:43that of the approximately 45 million euros
33:45from the Swiss Bank's windfall.
33:50The bulk of the loot
33:51has completely disappeared.
33:53One might think
33:54that he came to enrich
33:56all the barons
33:57Sea Breeze
33:58and from that point on,
33:59They are the oil kings.
34:01All the money
34:02which was removed
34:03of this case,
34:04which have not been found
34:05a number there,
34:06and was cleared
34:07at the time
34:09intelligently.
34:10And behind that,
34:11We couldn't do anything.
34:13determine.
34:16To whiten,
34:17that is to say, to make clean
34:18dirty money.
34:21clean it
34:22to inject it
34:23in an economy
34:24of everything that exists
34:24Moreover, it's legal.
34:27And in this major operation
34:28sanitation,
34:29the Sea Breeze
34:30will demonstrate
34:31of an imagination
34:32without limit.
34:34they created
34:35empires
34:36otherwise.
34:37The Sea Breeze,
34:38she created
34:38empires
34:39in sound business.
34:40They bought
34:41a company
34:42intelligence
34:43economic
34:44which is located
34:45at the Arena
34:46Saint-Nice.
34:47They bought
34:48very beautiful breweries
34:49in Old Nice.
34:50They bought
34:51complexes
34:51luxury real estate.
34:53They invested
34:54on the French Riviera
34:55notably.
34:56Brief,
34:56business
34:57Absolutely magnificent.
35:00They invested everything.
35:02Water,
35:03Corsican whisky,
35:04Corsican Coca,
35:06Corsican beer,
35:07Corsican charcuterie,
35:09Corsican wine.
35:10They have everything.
35:11There,
35:11we called them
35:13large
35:15businessmen.
35:16They had reached that point.
35:18They were more like robbers
35:19After.
35:19They were guys
35:20in business
35:21but like
35:22You're bothering us.
35:23We're going to get rid of you.
35:24asshole.
35:26The breeze marks
35:27great deals
35:29those that generate revenue.
35:30And to partner
35:32to these thriving businesses,
35:33The method is unchanging.
35:37You walk into a restaurant
35:38once,
35:39twice,
35:39three times
35:40and the third time.
35:42The representative
35:42sea breeze
35:43asked to say
35:44Go on,
35:44We're going to see the manager.
35:45Come on, my friend.
35:45He is patted on the shoulder
35:47and we say
35:47Your thing works well.
35:48Well,
35:48We're partnering up.
35:50And 9 times out of 10
35:51People joined forces.
35:53And the sea breeze
35:53extended
35:54his empire in Corsica
35:55and on the continent too
35:56Besides
35:57by joining forces
35:58Quite simply.
36:01This is what characterizes it
36:02a mafia-like system.
36:03It is this power
36:03intimidation
36:04where without needing
36:05to exert force
36:07we'll pat you on the back
36:07on the shoulder
36:08and the person
36:09goes to bed.
36:13Gradually,
36:15the sea breeze
36:16becomes essential
36:17and they are no longer
36:18the godfathers
36:19which extend to business
36:20but business
36:21who come to them.
36:24There are companies
36:25whether in Corsica
36:26whether from anywhere
36:26who often have
36:27financial difficulties.
36:30Often,
36:30often,
36:30often.
36:31And when you go to ask
36:32to a bank
36:33if you have a money problem
36:33and that you have no help
36:35and that you didn't help
36:35and all that,
36:36Who do they turn to?
36:37The merchants
36:38will do so on their own
36:39in a natural way
36:40go see the sea breeze
36:42to ask them
36:43money,
36:45protection
36:45And that's how it is.
36:46that a report
36:48of bribery
36:49will happen.
36:50And that's it.
36:51where we see
36:51that the sea breeze
36:52She has reached a new milestone.
36:54That is to say, in terms
36:55whitening
36:55she reached
36:56a level
36:57sophistication
36:58and organization
36:59which means that it is no longer
36:59a common criminal group
37:00that it has become
37:01It's truly a mafia.
37:05And as in any mafia
37:06the godfathers
37:07have a storefront
37:09with an office
37:10in which
37:11they receive
37:11the grievances
37:12of the population
37:13that they claim to help
37:14to better submit it.
37:18At that time
37:19we had to go and see
37:21the people of the breeze
37:22to start his own business.
37:26Francis Guadzeli
37:27baron of the sea breeze
37:28had at Café Riche
37:30in the heart of Bastia
37:31a table
37:32at the back of this bar
37:33where he received
37:34entrepreneurs
37:36who wanted
37:36to open a business
37:37to give them
37:38his agreement
37:38or not.
37:42We see
37:42candidates
37:43at the buyout
37:44of the case
37:44come see them
37:45request their agreement
37:47people who have
37:48conflicts
37:48come and solicit
37:49arbitration
37:50sea breeze
37:51and you have
37:52the barons
37:53sea breeze
37:53who decide
37:54which decide
37:54like justices of the peace.
37:58That said
37:58the omnipotence
38:00of this gang
38:01at some point
38:01on society.
38:06But true economic power,
38:09the one who assures
38:10income
38:10tens of millions
38:11is located elsewhere
38:12in public procurement,
38:15the buildings
38:16hospitals,
38:16of schools,
38:17of nurseries
38:17or even police stations.
38:23Richard Casanova
38:23smelled a good deal.
38:25Indeed,
38:26his escape
38:26after the heist
38:27from UBS
38:27obliges him
38:28to remain discreet.
38:30Never mind that,
38:31he places men
38:32straw
38:32at the head
38:33of its brand new
38:34construction company.
38:38Richard Casanova,
38:39it was,
38:40I've given you a rough outline.
38:42Bernard Tapie
38:43banditry.
38:44That was the kind of guy he was.
38:50Richard's company,
38:52in a few years,
38:53she passed
38:53small business
38:55number 1 in Corsica.
38:57There was indeed,
38:58I don't know.
38:58200 employees.
39:00After that, obviously
39:01they have a little
39:02stifled the others.
39:03They made sure
39:03to have a near-monopoly
39:05on public works.
39:08The Breeze,
39:09she understood
39:09that needed to be controlled
39:10politicians
39:11to acquire
39:12a public market.
39:13So, the Sea Breeze,
39:14with its economic power,
39:16began to practice
39:18a power of intimidation
39:19regarding elected officials, etc.
39:21which resulted in elected officials
39:22were under their thumb
39:22of the Sea Breeze.
39:25The Sea Breeze,
39:26she will use
39:27his money
39:28and fear
39:28that she inspires
39:29to weigh
39:30on deadlines
39:31local elections
39:33cantonal town halls,
39:35the head of the community
39:37territorial.
39:38Without politicians,
39:39you can't
39:40to be powerful.
39:41That's not possible.
39:45The parents of the Breeze
39:46are kingmakers
39:49and these elected officials
39:50who owe them so much
39:51weigh from then on
39:52with all their weight
39:52to promote
39:53the right file
39:54at the right time.
39:59The politician,
40:00it's someone
40:00like everyone else.
40:01So in Corsica,
40:02he knows what
40:02They are capable.
40:03He knows they are capable
40:05of a direct elimination.
40:07So people,
40:08They are listening
40:09of the Sea Breeze
40:09at that time.
40:13Market money
40:14public is a boon
40:15without end.
40:16For Casanova
40:17and the Breeze,
40:18it's a new one
40:18Heist of the century.
40:23As for the case
40:24from UBS
40:25and its Corsican component,
40:27we have to wait
40:28no less than 14 years
40:29so that finally
40:30opens in Paris
40:30the trial of the accomplices
40:32alleged
40:32by Michel Ferrari.
40:34There will be four of them.
40:35in the box
40:36presented by the prosecution
40:38such as members
40:38of the gang
40:39of the Sea Breeze
40:40to answer
40:41of what has been called
40:42The heist of the century.
40:45The Patakini brothers
40:46and André Benedetti
40:47They appear in court as free men.
40:50Alexandre Chevrière,
40:51him,
40:52was arrested
40:53a few months earlier.
40:56The last accomplice
40:57alleged robbery
40:58conspicuous by its absence.
41:00Richard Casanova,
41:02still on the run,
41:03will not be judged
41:04At least not for the moment.
41:06More than the trial
41:08of what has been called
41:08the heist of the century
41:0914 years ago
41:10against a bank in Geneva,
41:12this trial
41:13is above all the
41:14of the Sea Breeze.
41:17SO,
41:17the trial is coming
41:19and we say
41:20there is still
41:20many elements.
41:22Michel Ferrari
41:23He told everything.
41:24There are photos,
41:26There are the names.
41:27Those people
41:28will be,
41:28risk being convicted.
41:29There is a good chance
41:30that they be condemned.
41:32In court,
41:33Commissioner Maty
41:34wait for the start
41:35the trial
41:36with a certain impatience.
41:38When I return
41:40in the entrance hall
41:41of the Assize Court,
41:43right away,
41:43Jacques Patekini,
41:44He sees me.
41:45he said,
41:46Joel,
41:47Commissioner Maty is there.
41:49We're going to go say hello to him.
41:52And he crosses,
41:53He goes down the stairs,
41:54They come towards me.
41:55we are happy
41:56that you came.
41:58And he shakes my hand
41:59and I was under a lot of pressure
42:00because I realized
42:02that in fact,
42:04if with only one witness,
42:05It was more than me.
42:06practically.
42:08From the very beginning of the hearing,
42:10Marco Maty discovers indeed
42:11that the Swiss accomplices,
42:12starting with Michel Ferrari,
42:15declined the invitation
42:16to come and testify
42:17in this new trial.
42:19Michel Ferrari,
42:20He will not come.
42:21So, there,
42:22all of a sudden,
42:23in the meantime,
42:23perhaps his courage
42:24and his recklessness
42:26They will have evaporated a little.
42:28Me,
42:28I never wanted to go
42:29at the trial in Paris,
42:30He didn't interest me.
42:31To say what?
42:32He didn't interest me
42:33to have them put in prison
42:34Me, these people.
42:35It's pointless.
42:36That wouldn't have given me my money back.
42:40Without the testimony
42:41by Michel Ferrari
42:42What remains?
42:43From the prosecution?
42:45A few photos
42:46which prove nothing,
42:48is the investigation
42:48by Marco Mati,
42:49in which
42:50no material evidence
42:51was not found.
42:53SO,
42:54Effectively,
42:55It's over
42:57with the Attorney General
42:58which requires 10 years
43:00without doing
43:00too much,
43:01Too many illusions.
43:04The Attorney General
43:05understood perfectly
43:05that the file
43:06was empty.
43:07June 12, 2004,
43:09at 2 a.m.,
43:11applause
43:12resonate
43:12in the corridors
43:12of the court.
43:16Alexandre Chevrière,
43:17André Benedetti
43:18and the Patakini brothers
43:19are being judged
43:20not guilty.
43:23“I think it’s fantastic,”
43:25What.
43:25But we are in
43:26a context
43:27more or less relaxed
43:28because
43:28It's old.
43:30What,
43:30In fact.
43:31And then,
43:31Who are the victims?
43:33Me,
43:34who am rather
43:34from the victim's perspective,
43:36there,
43:36the victim,
43:36It's a large bank.
43:38And then,
43:38I think that
43:39millions
43:41that they lost
43:42there,
43:42that day,
43:42have been replaced
43:43"Quite quickly."
43:47Bitterness remains.
43:48of the instigator
43:48of this heist of the century
43:49and those millions
43:51Gone forever.
43:53"The Ring of Farce"
43:55It was me.
43:56When I was doing
43:57the prison,
43:59The months passed,
44:01birthdays
44:01passed by,
44:03Christmases passed
44:04without having any money
44:05while they
44:06were on the beaches
44:07drinking
44:09champagne
44:10and make the ends.
44:12That was it.
44:12the worst,
44:13to finish.
44:14It's about knowing
44:15that the break
44:17had succeeded
44:19and that I have
44:20Not my share.
44:26As the years passed
44:26after the heist
44:27from UBS,
44:28A mystery remains unsolved.
44:30That of a fugitive
44:31which drags on indefinitely
44:32for Richard Casanova
44:33and which will last
44:33for 16 years.
44:35A runaway
44:36exceptional
44:37by its duration
44:37which gives rise
44:39many questions
44:40including
44:40in the
44:41of the police
44:41and justice.
44:44The legend
44:45by Richard Casanova
44:46But is it just a legend?
44:47completely ?
44:48Come and say
44:48that when he was
44:49research
44:50after the heist
44:52said of the century
44:53from UBS,
44:54there was a time
44:55where finally
44:56he was wanted
44:57without really being so.
45:01From time to time,
45:02I was going out again
45:03the file
45:03wanted persons.
45:05I was surprised
45:06duty
45:06that the poster
45:08by Richard Casanova
45:09disappeared
45:10and then reappeared.
45:12in 96
45:14initiative
45:14we wanted
45:16to start
45:16the research
45:17about Casanova.
45:18After some time
45:19we said
45:19You stop.
45:20That's it.
45:21The story
45:21It's simple.
45:26Why me?
45:26I don't ask myself
45:27questions
45:28about the whys
45:28And how?
45:29I am a man
45:30field
45:31I work in the field.
45:33I know you want
45:34to know if he benefited
45:35protection.
45:35I will not answer you.
45:37because first
45:37I don't know.
45:38The fact is
45:39That's right.
45:39longevity
45:41from his escape
45:41is absolutely
45:42extraordinary.
45:47Extraordinary
45:47to the point that we Corsica
45:49The rumor is circulating.
45:51Casanova would be protected
45:53by cops
45:53in exchange for information
45:54that he would deliver
45:55on the nationalists
45:57Corsicans.
45:59Casanova
46:00one indicates
46:00of the police
46:02the fantasy
46:04spreads
46:04like a trail
46:05of powder.
46:08Richard he hated
46:09indicate them.
46:10Hated it
46:11for him
46:11it was the worst
46:12insults.
46:13If he said
46:14harm to someone
46:15the first thing
46:16it was
46:17him anyway
46:18It's a scale
46:19It's an indicator.
46:20So
46:20That was an insult.
46:21supreme what
46:22And it drove him crazy.
46:27To lift
46:28part of the mystery
46:28which surrounds
46:29Casanova's escape
46:30we must turn away
46:32from Corsica
46:33and was interested
46:34to a character
46:35very powerful
46:35He was also from Corsica.
46:37but who now lives
46:38far from the island of Gauté
46:39on the African continent.
46:43Richard Casanova
46:44He is a man
46:45which is notably
46:45protected by one of his
46:47great friends
46:48which is called
46:49Michel Thomy.
46:51And Michel Thomy
46:52it's a kind
46:53emperor
46:53games
46:54casinos
46:55in Africa
46:56notably
46:56and who
46:58in a way
47:00embodies the networks
47:01France-Africa
47:04That's why
47:05that they call you
47:06the emperor of games
47:07in Africa?
47:08Oh, you know
47:08the emperor
47:09no way
47:10we came
47:11to be
47:12comfortably settled
47:13in the country
47:13and not come
47:14simply
47:14to take
47:15money
47:15and leave
47:16because
47:17look at the quality
47:18of the product
47:18It's 4 years old.
47:21This casino
47:22from Libreville
47:22in Gabon
47:23does not represent
47:24that a tiny part
47:25of the insolent success
47:26by Michel Thomy
47:27in business.
47:30Yet
47:31this former croupier
47:32became manager
47:32casino
47:33come a long way
47:34implied
47:35from 1988
47:36in a case
47:37of diversion
47:38funds
47:39it's in Africa
47:39that he will finish
47:40by finding
47:41a second wind.
47:43Michel Thomy
47:44he will tip over
47:45of the world of games
47:46to Africa
47:47and so
47:47he will launch
47:48the PMU
47:49in Francophone Africa
47:51and it's going to be
47:52sources
47:53income
47:53very important
47:55and allow him
47:57to forge connections
47:57very, very high level
47:58at the level
47:59governments
47:59Africans
48:00in a number
48:00of countries.
48:04Richard Casanova
48:05on the run
48:06must now
48:06broaden one's horizons
48:08And that's convenient.
48:09because Michel Thomy
48:11needs
48:11of a man
48:12of his ilk
48:13to manage
48:13certain sensitive matters.
48:18Thus in 1994
48:19Richard Casanova
48:21would have attended
48:22Michel Thomy
48:22in the case
48:23the buyout
48:24of a casino
48:24in Annemasse
48:25in Haute-Savoie.
48:27An operation
48:28made possible
48:29through intervention
48:30by Charles Pasqua
48:31then minister
48:32From the inside.
48:36Justice will demonstrate
48:38that a part
48:38capital gains
48:39carried out on resale
48:40of the casino
48:41will have served
48:41to be filled
48:42the cash registers
48:42of the countryside
48:43Pasqua
48:43for the elections
48:44European elections of 1999.
48:50That's what it's called
48:51the Pasquois networks.
48:52In the Pasquois networks
48:54There is
48:54Michel Thomy
48:55and in a certain way
48:56a number
48:57of thugs
48:58who are protected
48:59through this network
49:00including Richard Casanova.
49:01The Pasquois networks
49:02I'm going to tell you
49:03in my opinion
49:03as far as I'm concerned, at least
49:05it cannot be
49:06than a network of friendship
49:07and friendly relations.
49:09So you are part of
49:09of the network?
49:10I never had
49:11link me
49:12and professional friendship
49:14with Mr. Pasqua.
49:15It's simply
49:15affection
49:16apart from the Africans.
49:22This network of friendship
49:23will enjoy
49:24to Richard Casanova
49:25which very quickly
49:26will establish
49:27links
49:27with high society
49:28African.
49:30In Cameroon
49:31in Congo
49:32and especially in Gabon
49:33the fief
49:34by Michel Thomy.
49:37This is a change
49:38dimension
49:39personal.
49:40He enters a world
49:41really opaque
49:42and parallel.
49:46This parallel world
49:47is the one
49:48state secrets,
49:49of diplomacy
49:50from the shadows
49:50by definition
49:51complex
49:52and impenetrable.
49:54And the interests
49:55The stakes are enormous.
49:57This is
49:58nothing more, nothing less
49:58commercial weight
49:59of France
49:59in West Africa
50:01and its interests
50:02strategic
50:03in the region.
50:05The services
50:06intelligence
50:06countries concerned
50:08of course they play
50:09a decisive role.
50:11The Corsicans
50:12have made a lot
50:13service
50:13to France
50:15in Africa
50:15For example.
50:16They return
50:17even now
50:17because France
50:19Africa
50:19It exists.
50:20And at some point
50:21special services
50:22Also
50:22they help
50:24a number
50:24of thugs
50:25that they consider
50:26like people
50:26capable,
50:27intelligent,
50:28brave
50:28knowing
50:29that they will serve them
50:30for other tasks
50:32more or less low.
50:35Richard Casanova
50:36did he act
50:37liaison officer
50:37for services
50:38French secrets?
50:40The question
50:41observers are baffled.
50:42middle
50:43for three decades.
50:45Casanova
50:46on the run
50:46it is still
50:47seen by several people
50:48at a reception
50:49at the Ministry of the Interior
50:51Place Beauvau.
50:52The day when we can
50:53declassify
50:53certain documents
50:54we'll see if
50:55yes or no
50:56he worked
50:57for services
50:57French intelligence
50:58in Africa.
51:01The head of intelligence
51:03generals of the time
51:04Bernard Squarsini
51:06seems to confirm
51:07this hypothesis.
51:09Many sources
51:10they tell us
51:11that they were working
51:11for a service
51:13who had
51:13the advantage
51:14to work
51:15outside
51:16of the national territory.
51:18But I've never seen
51:20as far as I'm concerned
51:21in my own department
51:22a written production
51:24that could emanate
51:25of this gentleman.
51:26You've never met him?
51:28No.
51:29Contrary to
51:30to what has been written.
51:35The former boss
51:36information
51:37is adamant.
51:38No link
51:39cannot be established
51:40between his service
51:41and the pillar
51:42of the sea breeze.
51:44And yet
51:45the protective measures
51:46which benefited
51:47Casanova
51:48during his escape
51:49they
51:49there is little doubt.
51:54Richard
51:55He had informants
51:56in the police
51:58including a police officer
51:59with whom he became friends
52:01and who was very close
52:03of someone
52:03high-ranking.
52:09So who is
52:10the mysterious protector
52:11Casanova?
52:13In this matter
52:13Two names are regularly mentioned.
52:17On one side
52:18Bernard Squarsini
52:19the head of intelligence
52:20and on the other
52:21Roger Marion
52:23head of central management
52:25of the judicial police.
52:28He passes the buck back and forth
52:29on the theme
52:30You protected him
52:31I wanted to stop him
52:32at such and such a time
52:33We could have caught him
52:35But you didn't do it.
52:39If the name of Bernard Squarsini
52:41appears in this case
52:42this is probably because
52:43of his ties with Michel Thomy.
52:47a friend
52:49but with whom I am not in business
52:51and that I know
52:54family
52:56and who helped us
52:57on Africa
52:58when we have
53:00implanted
53:01a liaison officer
53:02and where we were able to climb
53:03in power
53:04at the intelligence level
53:05on the fight against terrorism.
53:07He was an intermediary
53:08great for us
53:09But of course.
53:12Roger Marion
53:14on his side
53:14was criticized
53:16the disappearance
53:17named Casanova
53:18from the search file
53:19organized crime.
53:22Not only
53:23The person in question denies it
53:24but above all, wonders
53:25on certain practices
53:26of the intelligence service.
53:29The question is
53:31why general information
53:32were interested
53:34at the UBS heist
53:35to matters of banditry.
53:37One might ask the question
53:39isn't that right?
53:40to such an extent that
53:41Bernard Scorsini
53:42was summoned
53:43by the investigating judge
53:44to know
53:45why he was
53:45police surveillance.
53:51What seems to suggest
53:52Roger Marion
53:53that's the general information
53:55would have watched
53:56the police
53:57in charge of the investigations
53:58about Richard Casanova.
54:03I have at least
54:04three documented cases
54:06very precise information
54:08regarding location
54:09by Richard Casanova in Corsica
54:10and at the time
54:11where the police arrive
54:12There's nobody left.
54:13And they realize
54:14that at a very high level
54:16at the level of the Ministry of the Interior
54:17There were instructions
54:18which have been passed
54:19to warn him.
54:24Obviously
54:25Richard Casanova
54:26it was nothing like a scale
54:27or a police source.
54:30Its acquired stature
54:32alongside Michel Thomy
54:33in African affairs
54:34seems, on the other hand
54:35having offered him
54:36lasting protection.
54:39One thing is certain
54:40during his escape
54:42the breeze strategist
54:43gradually shifted
54:44in another dimension
54:45organized crime
54:46creating new networks
54:48and new alliances.
54:52A boon for the sea breeze
54:53who could well benefit
54:55of this metamorphosis
54:56and grow even larger.
55:03unless some
55:04among the brothers in arms
55:05by Richard Casanova
55:07eventually see
55:08the beginning of a betrayal.
