Summary: The “partners in crime”, Benalla and Battistelli, as outlined in our series of articles/posts/videos
IN OUR series of videos [1, 2, 3, 4] in which Alexandre Benalla speaks about his relationship with Battistelli and the European Patent Office (EPO), as well as in our “Benalla in prison” series (see part 1, part 2 and part 3), we have demonstrated the close ties and stressed the need for accountability. We’ve decided to post another articles index at the end, knowing that French media takes interest in it (some of the biggest networks in France do examine the evidence and contacted us for pointers). António Campinos would be wiser to — of his own volition — initiate a probe rather than have one imposed (by law) upon the Office. That would send a positive signal to staff.
Not only the EPO’s own ‘Benallagate’ should be probed but also the Control Risks ‘gate’ (loosely connected to the above), which we covered in:
Additional articles about Benalla:
- The Man Whose Actions Could Potentially Land Team Battistelli in Jail
- It Wasn’t Judges With Weapons in Their Office, It Was Benoît Battistelli Who Brought Firearms to the European Patent Office (EPO)
- Alexandre Benalla, Macron’s Violent Bodyguard, Was Also Battistelli’s Bodyguard
- Benoît Battistelli Refuses to Talk to the Media About Bringing Firearms to the EPO
- Guest Post on Ronan Le Gleut and Benalla at the French Senate (in Light of Battistelli’s Epic Abuses)
- French Media Confirms Alexandre Benalla Just One of Six Battistelli Bodyguards, Employed at the Cost of €8,000-€10,000 Per Month (for Benalla Alone!)
- Corrupt Battistelli Paid a Fortune (EPO Budget) for Outlaw/Rogue ‘Bodyguards’ From Firm Linked to Russian Oligarch Iskander Makhmudov
- Battistelli’s Bodyguard, Part I: Destruction of Evidence by Alexandre Benalla
- Battistelli’s Bodyguard, Part II: Fishing Expedition for Sources in the Alexandre Benalla ‘Underworld’ Scandal
- Battistelli’s Bodyguard, Part III: Mars, France Close Protection (Benalla’s Family), and Russian Oligarchy
- Battistelli’s Bodyguard, Part IV: Suspected Offenses of Forgery and Possible Falsification
- Battistelli’s Bodyguard, Part V: Mediapart Explains the ‘Raid’ Attempt, Reporters Without Borders Involved
- Outline/Index of the Alexandre Benalla/Battistelli Scandal
- António Campinos Still Needs to Hold Team Battistelli Accountable for Illegally Bringing Weapons to the EPO
The ‘militarisation’ of the EPO is a new low for international institutions as a whole. The notion of diplomatic immunity is challenged by that. Not even Gurry/WIPO went as far as Battistelli/EPO did.
If some notorious bicycle tales are what it takes to give more than half a million euros to a serial liar (perjuries) like Benalla, a full financial audit is in order. How many more millions were stolen from the EPO? Or put in ‘toxic’ mortgages and the coffers of Battistelli’s other employer? Shouldn’t CEIPI too investigate? You cannot teach law when your chief is a serial law-breaker. █

Richard Stallman's Controversial Views Are Nothing New and They Distract From Bill Gates' Vastly Worse Role

Openwashing Report on Open Networking Foundation (ONF): When Open Source Means Collaboration Among Giant Spying Companies

'Open Source' You Cannot Run Without Renting or 'Licensing' Windows From Microsoft

Illegal/Invalid Patents (IPs) Have Become the 'Norm' in Europe
Normalisation of invalid patents (granted by the EPO in defiance of the EPC) is a serious problem, but patent law firms continue to exploit that while this whole 'patent bubble' lasts (apparently the number of applications will continue to decrease because the perceived value of European Patents diminishes)

Proprietary Software Giants Tell Open Source 'Communities' That Proprietary Software Giants Are 'Friends'

EPO: Give Us Low-Quality Patent Applications, Patent Trolls Have Use for Those
What good is the EPC when the EPO feels free to ignore it and nobody holds the EPO accountable for it? At the moment we're living in a post-EPC Europe where the only thing that counts is co-called 'products' (i.e. quantity, not quality).
