## Coverage angles

The three sides cover the trial, but with distinct angles: the left insists on the systemic scale of the fraud and the link with the Dubai Papers, the center highlights the firm's wealthy clientele, while the right shifts attention to the geopolitical context and the profile of the protagonists.

**Common ground**

- Nine managers of the Hélin International firm are being tried in Paris
- The firm is accused of having helped more than 300 taxpayers evade taxes
- The trial is held before the Paris judicial court (32nd correctional chamber)

**Differences**

- Left and center link the case to the Dubai Papers and large-scale fraud, an angle absent from the right-wing article
- Right-wing media highlight the geopolitical context (Londongrad, war in Ukraine) and the nationalities of the protagonists, elements absent from other sides
- Center insists on the clientele of great fortunes, while left privileges the extent and method of fraud
