Ministers and wealthy guests allegedly ignored Covid rules to attend gastronomic events
French prosecutors have opened an investigation into claims government ministers and other wealthy guests attended secret Paris dinners that broke Covid rules.
The scandal emerged after the television channel M6 broadcast hidden camera footage allegedly from a high-end restaurant where diners were shown enjoying caviar and champagne as part of gastronomic menus costing up to €490. The address was known only to a “privileged few”, M6 claimed.
