Alexandre Benalla Hired as Security Consultant for Paris Fair

Marcel Campion, nicknamed the "king of fairground operators", and Alexandre Benalla, former Elysée mission officer, appear side by side in a video posted on social networks. Le Figaro notes that this meeting between the two men comes just over a week after a common lunch in a Parisian restaurant.

Indeed, according to the French media, the promoter of the Foire du trône explains in the video in question, to have called on Alexandre Benalla, to "carry out a security audit of the fairground".

"Many people working in security told me that he was quite competent in the field, so I’m interested in asking for his opinion since the Foire du trône is going to end and there are still two or three small problems in terms of my security," said Marcel Campion, who adds to have "asked Alexandre that we tour the fair. He looks and he’ll say in a little while what he thinks about it."

At the end of this 40-second video, we can clearly see the two men, who, according to the same source, had already met "two or three months earlier in Deauville", "slapping each other on the shoulder".
