UDR deputy Charles Alloncle has accused billionaire Xavier Niel of organizing the taking and distribution of stolen photos of him and his collaborator. The accusation follows their heated exchange during the inquiry commission on public broadcasting.
Charles Alloncle published these claims on X on June 7 2026. He stated that his tracking in Paris to his home and the illegal distribution of photos harming his private life had been organized, financed and relayed by Xavier Niel. The deputy criticized the use of a billionaire’s financial and media resources to intimidate a parliamentarian. He added that if some think these mafia methods will silence him, they are mistaken. The photos had been published by Paris Match on May 21. They showed Alloncle sharing a moment with his parliamentary collaborator. Mediapart reported that Niel had received and circulated the shots before their publication, after buying the Bestimage agency in 2024.
