Thomas Brezzo, the President of Monaco’s National Council, faces charges of complicity in violating the confidentiality of an investigation concerning a high-profile robbery at Monaco Watch Company in May, where luxury watches valued at 4.6 million euros were stolen. The robbery remains unresolved, with suspects still at large. Previously an advisor for the victimized store, Brezzo is accused of using his police contacts to influence the direction of the investigation.
Despite stepping down from his legal practice to assume the presidency of the National Council, Brezzo has firmly denied the allegations. According to his lawyer, Arnaud Zabaldano, Brezzo insists that his involvement was limited to providing legal advice to a former client and has no connection to his official duties. Brezzo remains confident in his legal defense amidst the ongoing scrutiny.
The case has also entangled a policewoman, suspected of participating in leaking confidential details of the investigation. As the inquiry progresses, both the community and authorities are keenly observing the developments, which have stirred significant attention in Monaco due to the high stakes involved and the profile of the accused.
