Did Alexandre Benalla really recover his two diplomatic passports at the beginning of October 2018 in a box that he was given to the presidency of the Republic as he claims? The document that reveals Europe 1 undermines this version presented in the press by the former chargé de mission of the Élysée.
One letter and two recommended. This is the official letter to the head of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, dated July 26, 2018. The letter expressly asks Alexandre Benalla to return the two diplomatic passports: No. 17CD04141 and No. 17CD09254, valid until 19/09/2022.
The letter was sent by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt to Alexandre Benalla's two personal addresses. Europe 1 has also been able to consult the receipts of the Post Office.
According to our information, around the President of the Republic, we remain categorical. The passports were never given to Alexandre Benalla, which is why the Quai d'Orsay asked him by mail. A new room on a file that still keeps many shadows.
