Jewish French billionaire to face trial for tax fraud
French billionaire industrialist and politician Serge Dassault is to face trial on suspicion of stashing several million euros in Luxembourg and Liechtenstein, a source close to the investigation says.
The case against the 90-year-old CEO of the Dassault Group, which holds a majority stake in Dassault Aviation, has been committed directly to trial without a preliminary inquiry, the source says, adding that it will open on July 4.
An incumbent member of the French Senate for the region of Essone, Dassult was born to parents of Jewish heritage who had both converted to Roman Catholicism.
