The previous CEO of the French insurer Vivali, Jacques Bouthier, has been taken into custody on suspicion of the rape of minors and human trafficking. According to media reports, the insurance manager is accused of “holding captive” and eventually raping a young woman.
According to a report by the French news agency AFP the 22-year-old woman reported to the police in March 2022. The accusation: She was “held captive” for five years by a very wealthy man who raped her. The man then reportedly called her “too old” and forced her to find a younger girl to take her place.
Then a 14-year-old took her place, he reports Spiegel citing the news agency. Bouthier is said to have tried to kidnap the young woman together with his wife and four other people in order to secure the compromising video, the TV station reports RTL.
An investigation has now been opened against Bouthier. In addition, five other suspects from the environment of the 75-year-old are also being investigated. However, Vivali announced that Bouthier had resigned. The millionaire founded the insurance company in 1975 and has managed it ever since. According to the company, the turnover is 163 million euros. Vivali employs around 1,800 people and serves around 550,000 customers.
