Alexandre Benalla was taken into custody with his wife on Tuesday. The former advisor to Emmanuel Macron, already convicted last November for the acts of violence that occurred during the demonstrations of May 1, 2018 in Paris, is heard as part of a preliminary investigation by the National Financial Prosecutor's Office (PNF) concerning a security contract signed between the Russian oligarch Iskander Makhmudov and his former acolyte Vincent Crase.
