Le député Aymeric Caron avait saisi la procureure de Paris pour des soupçons sur le financement par Arte France des documentaires du philosophe alors qu’il est président du conseil de surveillance de la chaîne. BHL « compte porter plainte en dénonciation calomnieuse » contre l’élu LFI.
An investigation has been launched into the funding of Bernard-Henri Lévy's documentaries by Arte, following a complaint by Deputy Aymeric Caron, who alleges illegal interest-taking. Lévy, president of Arte's supervisory board, denies any wrongdoing, stating he did not receive personal payments, and plans to sue Caron for defamation. Arte defends its editorial independence, while Caron previously highlighted ethical concerns in a parliamentary report, recommending Lévy's resignation due to a conflict of interest.
