Twenty-Two People Tied to a Controversial French Masonic Lodge on Trial for Murder
A shady lodge running killer squads is the stuff of fiction, only in real life.
A murder trial kicked off yesterday in Paris, which is generating a lot of controversy in the press and in French society in general.
No less than twenty-two people are facing charges of murder and other serious crimes, and it’s all centered on members of a shady Masonic lodge accused of ‘running hit squads’.
Out of the defendants, thirteen face life imprisonment if convicted.

AFP reported:
“Those in the dock include four military personnel from France’s foreign intelligence service (DGSE), two police officers, a retired domestic intelligence officer, a security guard and two business executives.
They are accused of the murder of a racing driver, the attempted murders of a business coach and a trade unionist, aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy — all on behalf of a mafia network inside the former Athanor Masonic Lodge in the Paris suburb of Puteaux.”
Most of the defendants have no previous criminal records.
RFI reported:
“At the heart of the case is the Athanor Masonic Lodge in the Paris suburb of Puteaux. Prosecutors allege that the lodge served as a hub for a tightly organized network that carried out violent acts ranging from assaults to contract killings.
[…] The alleged ringleaders – Jean-Luc Bagur, Frederic Vaglio and Daniel Beaulieu – are all linked to the Athanor lodge and are accused of orchestrating a series of crimes through a structured chain of command. They, along with Beaulieu’s associate Sébastien Leroy, face the most severe penalties.
[…] The case first came to light following a failed contract killing in July 2020. Two members of France’s parachute regiment were arrested near the home of business coach Marie-Helene Dini while in possession of weapons.
Under questioning, the pair claimed they believed they had been tasked by the state to eliminate Dini, alleging she had ties to the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.”
The complex trial is expected to last up to three months.
