This Wednesday, the shareholder of Camaïeu filed a complaint for defamation against the CGT lawyer, accusing him of “totally false” remarks evoking possible cash drains at the expense of the company, put into liquidation.

The complaint, with civil action for defamation of an individual, was filed with the Paris court.

It targets master Fiodor Rilov, for remarks made on Tuesday during a general meeting at the call of the CGT at the headquarters of Camaïeu in Roubaix, quoted by various media, specified for the shareholder master Baptiste de Fresse de Monval .

“Unfounded” remarks

These "comments undermine the honor and consideration of the HPB group", Hermione People and Brands, a subsidiary of Financière immobilière bordelaise (FIB), which had taken over Camaïeu in 2020, said the lawyer.

“Totally unfounded and false, they fall under defamation law,” he added.

Master Rilov had proposed to the employees to start a procedure against HPB, in particular to find traces “of all the operations of transfer of funds between Camaïeu and other companies of the group”.

HPB incriminates two sentences which would then have been pronounced by Me Rilov.

He would have, according to the shareholder, affirmed that it “is not excluded that funds which were no longer in the company were taken”.

He would also have indicated that the procedure he wants to launch aims to “know the operations that have emptied the cash”.

“An attempt to divert attention”

"No company in the group, nor the shareholder, has benefited from funds from Camaïeu", declared, on Wednesday, the president of HPB, Wilhelm Hubner.

This complaint constitutes “an attempt to divert attention”, reacted Mr. Rilov, declaring himself resolved to “quickly initiate” the legal actions presented to the employees.

Claiming not to have been notified of the complaint immediately, he indicated that he would not hesitate to file a complaint for "slanderous denunciation".



On the merits, "I note that the employees are convinced that a certain number of abnormal operations took place, it is necessary to seek [...] if abnormal financial operations were organized and if they contributed to the discomfiture of Camaïeu”, he added.
