An unauthorised biography of Luc Besson to be published in France on Wednesday recounts that the renowned French film director and producer was granted an extraordinary exemption from a multi-million-euro wealth tax payment when current French foreign minister Laurent Fabius was finance minister. The exemption, claims the book, was agreed after the intervention of Fabius, whose sister and nephew were employed by Besson. Fabrice Arfi reports.
A book published this week in France claims French film director Luc Besson was granted an exceptional and legally questionable exemption from a wealth tax payment of 3 million euros when current French foreign affairs minister Laurent Fabius was finance minister and at a time when the latter’s sister and nephew were employed by Besson.
