"The 22 are accused of murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy on behalf of a mafia network inside the Athanor Masonic Lodge in the Paris suburb of Puteaux."
"The case was triggered by a botched contract killing in July 2020, when two members of France's parachute regiment were arrested in possession of weapons near the home of business coach Marie-Helene Dini."
"Investigators say Bagur asked fellow freemason Vaglio to arrange to have his rival eliminated for a fee of €70,000."
Twenty-two defendants, including former intelligence agents and businessmen, are on trial in France for murder and conspiracy related to the Athanor Masonic Lodge. The lodge is accused of operating hit squads. Key figures include Jean-Luc Bagur, Frederic Vaglio, and Daniel Beaulieu, who face life imprisonment if convicted. The case began after a failed assassination attempt in 2020, leading to investigations that uncovered connections between the lodge members and a plot to kill business coach Marie-Helene Dini, allegedly orchestrated by Bagur.
