A Masonic lodge… transformed into a criminal network. ⚖️📐 In Paris, 22 people are standing trial in the "Athanor" case, an extraordinary file involving former intelligence agents, military personnel, and business leaders. Behind a discreet facade, investigators discovered an organization capable of anything: intimidation, arson, assaults… and even assassination. 🏛️🔥 It all began in 2020 with a botched murder attempt. Two soldiers were arrested near the home of a woman they believed was a Mossad spy. In reality, she was simply a business coach… and the target of a rival. 🕵️‍♀️🚫 At the heart of the system: a former intelligence officer and several lodge members suspected of orchestrating illegal "missions," sometimes for personal motives, sometimes for pay. Some executors even claim they were manipulated, convinced they were acting on behalf of the State. 🤐💰 In total, investigators have identified dozens of offenses and several crimes, including the 2018 assassination of racing driver Laurent Pasquali. The trial, set to last over three months, could lift the veil on a clandestine system where influence, power, and criminal drift collide. 🏛️⚖️
