LVMH-Hermès affair: Reuters revelations contradict Bernard Arnault's defence

On Thursday, Reuters published an investigation that brought new information to light in one of the luxury sector's most high-profile cases: the acquisition of Hermès shares by the LVMH group. According to the news agency, LVMH made a confidential agreement in 2002 with Éric Freymond, who was the wealth manager for Nicolas Puech, one of the heirs to the house of Hermès.
