Chatillon has been a "friend and confidant" of Le Pen since they were at law school together.[1] As a student, he was president of Groupe Union Défense, a far-right student group.

Juges Renaud Van Ruymbeke and Aude Buresi are investigating Chatillon for alleged "illegal financing" of the Front National.[1]

French newspaper Le Monde, as part of the Panama Papers investigation reported that Chatillon had used his company to set up an international network of shell companies and false invoices.[2] On his Facebook page, Chatillon wrote, "obviously, the Front National has nothing to do with this private affair, neither directly or indirectly".[2] The complex scheme is alleged to involve companies in complex system involving companies in Hong Kong, Singapore, Panama and the British Virgin Islands.[3]

The press allegations have been dismissed by the online news portal Atlantico [4] as mere libels and politically oriented news.

Personal life

Frédéric Chatillon is separated[5] from Marie d’Herbais de Thun, born in 1971, friend of Marine Le Pen, daughter of Pierre-Guillaume and Katherine d'Herbais de Thun, one of the Cendrine Blot-Le Chevallier (born Chéreil de la Rivière) sisters.[6]

gollark: sys.argv[0] *should* be it.
gollark: Let's go with "nearly self-modifying".
