This time it comes from France, where the headline, "Murder trial involving Freemasons, French secret agents opens in Paris court," caught my eye.
It seems to me that Masons in Europe are not the guys in Fez hats (Shriners) that we see in the United States.
In Europe, at least on the Continent, you have murders, lodges that have brought down governments, and the occasional terrorist bombing. (See the P2 Lodge)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Twenty-two people went on trial in France on Monday on charges of murder and other serious crimes centred on members of a Masonic lodge accused of running hit squads.
Thirteen of the defendants face life imprisonment.
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.
………
The alleged ringleaders are Athanor Freemasons Jean-Luc Bagur, Frédéric Vaglio and Daniel Beaulieu. They face life in jail if convicted.
So does Beaulieu's right-hand man Sébastien Leroy, who is accused of carrying out the trio's dirty work himself or through a hit-man network.
The case was triggered by a botched contract killing in July 2020, when two members of France's parachute regiment were arrested in possession of weapons near the home of business coach Marie-Hélène Dini.
Under questioning, they said they thought they had been asked to murder Dini on behalf of the French state on the grounds that she worked for Israeli spy agency Mossad.
Whoever has the tinfoil hat concession for this trial will make out like a reped ape.
