The cook Christophe Leroy and the collector Pierre-Jean Chalençon, suspected of having organized in Paris clandestine luxury meals in particular at the Palais Vivienne, were placed in custody on Friday, we learned from the Paris prosecutor's office, confirming a information from BFMTV.
The two men are questioned by the Brigade for the repression of delinquency against the person (BRDP) in charge of the investigation, said a source close to the file.
The broadcast of a report by M6 last week on lavish clandestine dinners in Paris sparked a heated controversy, one of the organizers, identified as Pierre-Jean Chalençon, claiming to have "dined in the week in two or three illegal restaurants" where he would have crossed "ministers".
The report notably mentioned a dinner at the Palais Vivienne, in the 2nd arrondissement of the capital, "around a caviar and champagne menu" at the price of "220 euros per person" concocted by the cook Christophe Leroy.
