Loge Athanor : franc-maçonnerie, permis de tuer ?

The video discusses a significant criminal scandal in France involving a Masonic lodge called Atanor, which is currently on trial. The affair began on July 24, 2020, in Créteil, when two police officers stopped a suspicious car and discovered two armed men with a 9mm pistol and a knife. These men were allegedly hired to assassinate Marie-Hélène Digny, a business coach, for 70,000 euros. The commander of this assassination plot was identified as Jean-Luc Bagure, a patron of a coaching school in Créteil, who viewed Digny as unwelcome competition. This case has been labeled as one of the most serious criminal scandals in France in recent decades, with the trial commencing on March 30, 2026. Investigators have linked three men from the Atanor Masonic lodge to the plot. These individuals, described as "barbouzes" (thugs or secret agents), are suspected of hiring hitmen for various illicit activities including assaults, intimidation, arson, and assassinations. France Info, in an article from March 30, 2026, highlighted the profiles of those involved: agents or ex-agents of intelligence services, military personnel, private security specialists, consultants, and business leaders. The Atanor lodge, which operated for many years in Putot, Paris region, was affiliated with the Grande Loge Nationale Française (GLNF). The core issue revolves around how members of this Masonic lodge formed a criminal organization. Their objectives ranged from intimidation to contract assassinations, driven by financial disputes, personal vendettas, or professional and political rivalries. The video suggests that if someone needs to eliminate a rival, they might turn to such a network, even if they are Masons. The inquiry into the Atanor affair, ongoing since 2020, has unearthed numerous revelations about other commissioned assassinations. One notable case is the murder of Laurent Pasquali, a former race car driver who disappeared in 2018 and was found buried in the woods in Haute-Loire. His execution was directly linked to the Atanor lodge. The term "Operation Homo" (homicide operation) was used in the jargon of secret services in relation to this case. Another alleged plot involved an assassination attempt on trade unionist Hassan T., who worked in a plastic factory in L'Ain. This attempt was reportedly instigated by his employer, who feared a strike movement. Additionally, a mayor in Val-de-Marne, Sylvain Berrios, was targeted in a "macabre plan" by the lodge for intimidation. The video also alludes to the possible involvement of Atanor members in other incidents, such as the Chevaline massacre in 2012, although this remains unconfirmed. An aggression against a couple of entrepreneurs in Seine around 2020 is also mentioned. A key figure in revealing the deeper ramifications of the Atanor lodge is Sébastien Leroy, a member of the criminal network who participated in an "elimination operation." According to a 20 Minutes article from March 29, 2026, Leroy stated during his interrogation that there could be between 10 and 20 total assassinations linked to the network. He specifically mentioned the suspicious death of Chinese Ambassador Du Wei in Israel in 2020, although a Parisian article from May 17, 2020, attributed his death to natural causes. Beyond assassinations, the Atanor lodge is implicated in other illegal activities, such as using GPS trackers and accessing state files without authorization. The trial, which began on March 30, 2026, involves 19 men and 3 women, aged 30 to 73, and is expected to last four months. The speaker expresses concern that the outcome might not be a full reckoning, fearing a "non-lieu" or a minimization of the scandal. The lack of widespread media coverage, particularly at the state level, is highlighted as a concern, especially given that the network targeted even a representative of the state, a mayor. The video points out President Macron's speech in May 2025 before the GLNF, where he praised Freemasonry for being "at the forefront of the battle" for humanity's good, seemingly unaware or unconcerned about the ongoing investigation into the Atanor lodge. The Atanor lodge itself was dissolved in February 2021. The speaker addresses the potential criticism of generalizing about Freemasonry based on the actions of one lodge. While acknowledging the existence of 700 lodges in France, he questions why mainstream media are hesitant to generalize in this context, unlike their tendency to do so on other topics (e.g., associating all "black belts" with criminality after a single incident). He suggests that the secrecy inherent in Freemasonry makes it difficult to establish complicity beyond direct responsibility, as members are bound by an oath not to reveal internal matters. The video concludes by promoting two articles published in "Just Mensuel" that delve deeper into the "roues and secrets of Freemasonry" for those interested in further understanding the issue beyond the Atanor lodge. The speaker emphasizes the need for support for independent media like "Just Milieu" to continue uncovering such revelations.
