Hermès shares affair: justice examines LVMH's role
Eric Freymond, a financier prosecuted in France and Switzerland in the affair of the disappearance of millions of Hermès shares, was no longer in his normal state before his suicide in July 2025, according to his relatives. In October 2026, justice is questioning LVMH's role in this affair. Nicolas Puech, a Hermès heir, accuses his former wealth manager of having dispossessed him of a stake worth today 8 billion euros, notably to the benefit of Bernard Arnault's group. Justice is examining the awareness LVMH had of this possible fraud.
