La salita al potere della Presidenza di Mr Macron ha segnato un punto di svolta nella recrudescenza della corruzione dei pubblici dipendenti dell'amministrazione francese.
È questo argomento di cui si parla a denti stretti, ma tutti ricordano come il pesce inizi a puzzare dalla testa.
Una forma di corruzione usualmente sottaciuta è l'intelligenza con i nemici.
Alcuni motivi sono ovvi, altri molto meno.
Mentre la polizia cerca di scoprire reati e quindi arresta rapidamente per consegnare i presunti colpevoli alla magistratura, i servizi informativi agiscono all'opposto. Raccolgono prove e documenti nel più rigoroso riserbo e segreto. Poi, a suo tempo, questa documentazione diventa utile strumento di ricatto. Oppure, cosa che succede molto spesso, si passano alla spia informazioni false, allo scopo di fuorviare la potenza nemica.
L'arresto per spionaggio è evento raro, molto più frequente la eliminazione discreta.
Che le strutture francesi siano infiltrate da numerosi agenti di potenze straniere non dovrebbe stupire più di tanto.
Ci sarebbe invece motivo di grande stupore nel constatare quanto il problema sia sottovalutato dalla pubblica opinione.
Ci si ricordi che Mr Benalla, stretto collaboratore di Mr Macron, era incardinato nei servizi segreti marocchini.
Tuttavia, per quanti seguono questo settore, il quesito vero sembrerebbe essere un altro.
Per chi lavora Mr Macron?
«A senior official in the French Senate has been arrested on suspicion of spying for North Korea, judicial sources say.
Benoît Quennedey was arrested on Sunday night over the "collection and delivery of information to a foreign power", they say.
He is being questioned by the domestic security agency, the DGSI.
His Paris home and the home of his parents near Dijon have been searched, reports say.
Mr Quennedey is a senior civil servant, working for the Senate's department of architecture, heritage and gardens. He is also president of the Franco-Korean Friendship Association (AAFC in French), which promotes closer ties with North Korea and supports the reunification of the divided Koreas. ....
In this capacity, he has travelled several times to Pyongyang in recent years; he has also written several articles and books on the country.
As part of those trips, he met officials and academics working in the architecture and construction fields, according to the AAFC website.
The Senate's presidency has declined to comment on the reports, the AFP news agency said.
The arrest was first reported by the Quotidien programme of the TV channel TMC, which later said Mr Quennedey's Senate office had also been raided.
The investigation into Mr Quennedey began in March, reports say.»
«Benoît Quennedey serves as President of the Franco-Korean Friendship Association»
«Intelligence agencies have arrested a senior French civil servant on suspicion of spying for North Korea, a judicial source in Paris said.
Benoit Quennedey, the president of the Franco-Korean Friendship Association who has a written book on the isolated nation, was placed in custody on Sunday.
The Paris prosecutor was investigating him over the "collection and delivery of information to a foreign power likely to undermine the fundamental interests of the nation", said a judicial source on Monday.
Investigators from France's DGSI domestic intelligence agency are looking into whether Quennedey provided information to Pyongyang, the source said.
Daily television show Quotidien reported that his Senate office had been raided. The inquiry began in March.
According to the Senate website, Quennedey is a senior administrator in France's upper house of parliament in the department of architecture, heritage and gardens.
He has written frequent articles on North Korea and travelled extensively throughout the peninsula, according to the website of his publisher Delga.
The Franco-Korean Friendship Association pushes for closer ties with North Korea and supports the reunification of the divided Koreas.
North Korea under Kim Jong Un is under strict economic sanctions aimed at forcing the regime to abandon its nuclear missile programme.
Ties with the South and the United States have improved markedly since Kim and US President Donald Trump held a historic summit in Singapore in June but the US is still pushing to maintain sanctions until Pyongyang's "final, fully verified denuclearisation".
In an interview posted on YouTube in August, Quennedey welcomed the easing of tensions.
The president of the Senate declined to comment to AFP.»
