1993. THE ELYSEE WIRETAPPING CASE

Whatever it takes

An episode from the series HISTORY GREATEST LIES

Synopsis

On March 1993, two journalists question French President François Mitterrand on the Elysée Palace wiretapping scandal which has just become known. The President denies everything and is quite disparaging.

Who set up this formidable STASI-style intelligence mechanism? Who was pulling the strings?

It would take almost twenty years of investigations to get to the bottom of a largescale spying organisation.
