They are now seven to claim to have been victims of the criminal gang organized by Jacques Bouthier.

The complainants, all women, claim that Jacques Bouthier allegedly harassed, threatened and sexually abused them, all with the complicity of several other employees of the group.

These employees, six in total among the French and Moroccan executives of the insurance company, would have served as touts for the boss, justifying the predatory actions that he inflicted on women.

On Saturday July 16, the victims appeared at a press conference, testifying on condition of anonymity of the “ 

intimidation campaign in the media and on social networks 

”, carried out according to them by “ 

the Bouthier clan

 ”.

One of them recounts threats and even an attempt at bribery.
