Monaco is an inexhaustible source of scandals. The most powerful one that has put Albert II of Monaco (65) on the ropes is related to the Dossiers du Roche.
Through the publication of emails and official documents, the sovereign's four strongmen known as 4-G have been fired for alleged illegal practices. One of the victims was Claude Palmero (67), administrator of the Crown's assets and a large part of the Grimaldis' personal fortune. Claude became the guardian of La Roca's financial secrets following the death of his father, André Palmero, in 2001.
