In the center, a discreet but ultra-powerful family whose business is the camouflage of several offshore companies belonging to oligarchs. Zoe Kabila and many other African oligarchs are part of the clientele of this powerful family of the Principality of Monaco. What happens to our lithium, a coveted ore because of its use with cobalt in the manufacture of electric car batteries?

That's the question.The Lecourt family, discreet Monegasque showcase for African oligarchsSettled on the Rock for two generations, the Lecourt family, originally active in soap, has gradually developed, in addition to a fruitful agricultural business, another cleaning activity: the registration of Monegasque companies on behalf of third parties.
