This Friday, after several days of twists and turns concerning the acquisition of ASBH, René Bouscatel, who had been announced as future president by the shareholders, received threats. Louis-Pierre Angelotti, also threatened, decided to give up the project “definitively”. Clearly, things have gone wrong. The Emiratis, themselves, are always on the spot.
In recent days, passions are unleashed in Béziers around the acquisition of ASBH. And it goes far. According to our colleagues at actuu.fr, “heinous acts have occurred. And René Bouscatel, who is to take the presidency, was the victim of several anonymous calls in the middle of the night with various threats of intimidation”.

The property developer and sponsor for 20 years, explained to have “suffered serious insults and unacceptable and unbearable threats”.
