This is one of the most colossal scams in recent years. From this Tuesday and until the end of June, four people are tried before the Paris Criminal Court for scam in organized gang, false and money laundering. They are suspected of having, between 2010 and 2016, awarded 50 million euros to more than 2,000 savers having invested in attractive financial products, supposed to grow wind turbines and photovoltaic panels in the Antilles and in Guyana.
On paper, France Energies Finance (FEF) had everything to please: a “guaranteed” rate of return of 7 % thanks to the “best sunshine in France”, and the “security” of the repurchase by EDF of the electricity produced.
