Laurent Pasquali

Laurent Pasquali was a pilot who disappeared in November 2018 and whose body was found in a forest in Haute-Loire in September 2019. His death is a key element in the ongoing trial of the Athanor masonic lodge in France. The lodge and its members are accused of being a criminal network involved in various crimes, including assassination, attempted murder, and assault. The trial, which began on March 30, 2026, involves approximately 22 defendants and is expected to last three and a half months. Pasquali's death is considered a central piece of evidence linking the lodge to violent and illegal activities, and the trial is shedding light on the alleged criminal network and its connections, potentially involving former DGSE agents.
