Alexandre Benalla, Macron's Violent Bodyguard, Was Also Battistelli's Bodyguard

"Affaire Benalla et OEB: Benalla a travaillé pour Battistelli"

Battistelli and Benalla



Summary: Dots are being connected and a major controversy in French politics turns out to be connected (or lead) to Battistelli, the EPO's thug who surrounded himself by other thugs

SEVERAL readers have independently informed us that the man who appeared in Battistelli's bizarre piece from 2 years ago (never mind the infamous diversity spin) wasn't just some arbitrary person; we didn't mention at the time and we have since then received a more recent/fresher copy (above), but Benalla is no stranger to Battistelli and the EPO.



I personally cannot read French, but some readers who can have sent us valuable input.

Writing about La French decadence, one reader said that "if you observe the recent developments of French politics, you might have noticed a stunning similarly between la methode Battistelli and la methode Macron. There is nothing astonishing because both graduated from the ENA. All French media are now busy with the Benalla affair."

“...stunning similarly between la methode Battistelli and la methode Macron. There is nothing astonishing because both graduated from the ENA.”

Several people now link to this article. "It is in French," the reader said, "however highly relevant." The key part: "On retrouve ensuite l’ancien gamin d’Evreux à Munich, au siège de l’Office européen des brevets (OEB). Entre novembre 2015 et novembre 2016, cette institution dépendant de l’Union européenne fait appel aux services d’une société de sécurité domiciliée au Luxembourg et dirigée par deux anciens militaires français, Sigma 3D Security Services. C’est dans ce cadre que Benalla devient garde du corps du président de l’OEB, le Français Benoît Battistelli. L’atmosphère est lourde à l’OEB. Les collaborateurs reprochent au président son autoritarisme. Le président, lui, se croit menacé de mort. Sur son CV, Benalla gonfle une nouvelle fois ses fonctions : le simple prestataire de services devient €« fonctionnaire international €»."

In English: "Then we find the former kid from Evreux (Benalla) in Munich, at the headquarters of the European Patent Office (EPO)." Between November 2015 and November 2016, this institution dependent on the European Union uses the services of a company headquartered in Luxembourg and led by two former French soldiers, Sigma 3D Security Services, Benalla becomes the bodyguard of the EPO President, Benoît Battistelli, in France. EPO employees blame the president for his authoritarianism, but the president feels threatened with death. On his CV, Benalla boosts again its functions: the simple service provider becomes "international civil servant"."

Immunity? For violent thugs, too?

"Many people talk about it at this very moment and it's an opportunity for French media to pay closer attention, follow some leads, and learn about Battistelli's corruption and sheer injustice at the EPO.""We were lucky not to cross Benalla at the office," one reader said, "but it illustrates the type of thugs that Battistelli (maybe via the Colonel) used at the EPO...."

Or another take (in French): "Nous avons eu de la chance de ne pas le croiser....par contre cela illustre le type d'officines que Battistelli (peut être via la Colonel) a employé à l'OEB..."

Many people talk about it at this very moment and it's an opportunity for French media to pay closer attention, follow some leads, and learn about Battistelli's corruption and sheer injustice at the EPO.

We've only learned about that very recently (some hours ago). Any more information on this? Documents other than the internal communications (published in the intranet in 2016)? Let us know, dear readers, because surely there's lots more to be found somewhere. The man spent a lot of time at the EPO, maybe on a semi-clandestine basis. Is it a patent office or barracks? Who was threatened? Who was made immune?
