"France is watching one of its own monsters crawl out of the shadows. In a sealed Paris courtroom, twenty-two men sit in the dock. They stand accused of turning a quiet Masonic lodge into a private murder-and-intimidation franchise. The indictment reads like a disturbing merger between active officers from the DGSE, France’s foreign-intelligence service (the French CIA), veterans of the DGSI, the domestic-intelligence agency often compared to the FBI, street cops, ex-spooks now posing as “security consultants,” lodge bigwigs, businessmen, and hired muscle. What started as men in white gloves calling each other “brother” allegedly became a shadow service that sold surveillance, beatings, and killings to anyone with a grudge and enough cash."
