France: The trial of Olivier Bouygues for illegal hunting of protected species has begun

Euronews Portugal7 September 2026 at 12:08

The trial of Olivier Bouygues, a French billionaire whose fortune amounts to approximately 3.2 billion euros, has begun in France for illegal hunting of protected species. This trial is considered historic and unprecedented in French justice.

In addition to Bouygues, other defendants are also being tried in the same case. If found guilty, all those involved face sentences of up to seven years in prison.

The case involves accusations related to the hunting of species that enjoy legal protection in France, which makes this trial particularly significant in the context of French environmental legislation.
