Oh, there, look, a denial that goes “pschitt”! A few hours after publishing a press release formally denying the accusations of Mediapart, which revealed on Wednesday that the Parisian club had commissioned an external agency to create an army of fake Twitter accounts to denigrate those who attacked the interests of the club, a testimony is came to confirm the statements of our colleagues.

“Everything was done in collaboration with the club,” Frédéric Geldhof told RTL. He also claims to have been in direct contact with Jean-Martial Ribes, the former director of communication for the Parisian club who left at the end of last season in a subsidiary of the luxury giant LVMH. “Our role was to set the strategy of the client’s communication department to music on social networks and on the Internet.
