Raymond Oliver, owner of Le Grand Véfour, was quoted by his daughter as saying, "I am ruined. My clients trust me and this had to happen to me as I reach the end of my career."[2]

Nobody claimed responsibility for the attack. The Action Directe terror group also denied involvement, saying it did not carry any political significance.[citation needed] The case file was closed by police and no one has been apprehended.[3]
