In 2022, Perdriau is being investigated by police after it was claimed he was involved in a plot to film the “erotic massage” given by an escort boy to his deputy, Gilles Artigues, in a Paris hotel room in 2014. The tape was used to blackmail him for eight years to stop him from challenging Perdiau until the recording was publicized by a French news site in 2022. After the story broke, Artigues filed a criminal lawsuit against both Perdriau and his chief of staff, alleging “aggravated blackmail, the organization of an ambush and embezzlement”. The suit, in turn, sparked a judicial investigation. Both accused men deny the claims.[2]
