New twist in the sextape blackmail affair that splashes the town hall of Saint-Etienne.

According to information from Le

Progrès

, one of the central players in this file has filed a complaint against X for harassment.

This man, Gilles Rossary-Lenglet, presents himself as the one who revealed the affair to

Mediapart

.

He would also have organized the ambush of which the former first deputy mayor of Saint-Etienne, Gilles Artigues, was the victim.

Mediapart

's investigation

is based on an audio recording made in the mayor's office in November 2017, in the presence of his chief of staff and his former first deputy.

This recording evokes the trap of which Gilles Artigues was the victim, filmed without his knowledge in a Parisian hotel with a gay escort after the municipal elections of 2014. Justice opened a judicial investigation for blackmail, after a complaint from Gilles Artigues.

In the columns of

Progress

, Gilles Rossary-Lenglet says he is the victim of pressure since the revelation of the case by our colleagues.
