The disappearance of Agnès Le Roux haunted the people of Nice for almost forty years. Michelle Laroque, who plays Renée Le Roux, in the series Everything for Agnes, broadcast this Monday on France 2, can attest to this. Herself originally from Nice, she performed in her childhood in the famous Palais de la Méditerranée casino, an emblematic monument belonging to the Le Roux family. “It’s interesting to retrace the parallel journey compared to what I was experiencing at that time,” says the actress. It gave me an even greater interest.”
The series returns to an enigmatic crime for which Maurice Agnelet, sulphurous lawyer and lover of Agnès, is the main suspect. However, in the absence of the body and the slightest material evidence, this case continues to raise questions. Was Agnès Le Roux killed by her lover sentenced to twenty years in prison in 2014 after an endless investigation? Or by the mafia to whom she sold her shares in the casino for 3 million francs? Michèle Laroque and Yannick Choirat share with 20 minutes their vision of this extraordinary criminal case.
