PARIS – French police on Friday detained leading chef Christophe Leroy and flamboyant businessman Pierre-Jean Chalencon questioning over organizing clandestine restaurant dinners for top figures in defiance of Covid-19 restrictions, prosecutors said.
The two men, along with Leroy’s spouse, were interrogated for several hours by investigators before being released.
“At this stage of the investigation, there is no evidence that indicates any members of the government took part in the dinners being investigated,” prosecutors said.
The M6 private television channel last week broadcast a reportage based on footage recorded with a hidden camera purportedly from a clandestine restaurant in a high-end area of Paris where neither the staff nor the diners were wearing masks.
