Benoît Battistelli Refuses to Talk to the Media About Bringing Firearms to the EPO

"Immunity" would probably be invoked even if someone got shot (and investigations suppressed, as usual)

Battistelli's Alexandre Benalla with pistol



Summary: Benoît Battistelli's highly aggressive approach has attracted the attention of French media; Battistelli has reportedly refused to comment on that matter, knowing that he lacks a defense (same thing happened after he had hauled millions of EPO euros to his other employer)

CORRUPT Benoît Battistelli has a lifelong obsession with bodyguards; it didn't start at the EPO but at INPI apparently. INPI wants more people inside the EPO and "revolving doors" is what Benjamin Henrion called it. "INPI has been corrupting the process during the swpat [software patents] debate, as any other NPO in other countries," Henrion added. There are clinical words that describe Battistelli's chronic paranoia, which has created a deeply toxic atmosphere at the Office and has cost it over a million euros just in 'bodyguard bills' (not that these French firms/bodyguards would mind the unchecked money flow).



"Some mainstream French media approached us for further pointers and has apparently asked the Liar in Chief for a comment."A few days ago we wrote about the firearms aspect (see article/image above), confirmed in light of the Alexandre Benalla scandal. Some mainstream French media approached us for further pointers and has apparently asked the Liar in Chief for a comment. We can't really read French (not properly), so we rely on occasional translations. Maybe SUEPO will produce and publish some soon.

"Benoît Battistelli," said one new tweet, "ex President of the European Patent Office EPO did not respond to requests for comment? Why not answer the questions of the journalists? Lack of transparency in the European Patent Office? No answer is an answer, right?"

"EPO corruption lives on, albeit it's disguised a little better."Much of the discussion about it is in French, e.g. [1, 2, 3] and very little is in English, e.g. this tweet which says: "From an European perspective, it's rather interesting to discover that the violent bodyguard Benalla worked as well for Battistelli the President of the European Patent Office."

He ran the EPO like a Mafia, so why not arm it like a Mafia? Suffice to say, António Campinos will never investigate any of it. He will be a good lapdog to Battistelli, having received his job from Battistelli. EPO corruption lives on, albeit it's disguised a little better.
