L'affaire Rhodia
In 1999 and 2000 Rhodia acquired Albright and Wilson, a British chemical company and ChiRex, an American specialty pharmaceutical company. In 2003 and 2004, Edouard Stern and Hugues de Lasteyrie filed suit against Rhodia with claims of accounting irregularities. At the time, Thierry Breton was a board member of Rhodia and later, from 2005 to 2007, he was the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industry (France). Edouard Stern was assassinated on March 1, 2005.
