Renault admits wrongful termination in the espionage case
Michael Balthazard, Bertrand Rochette and Matthieu Tenenbaum were the three executives fired by Renault in the espionage scandal.

Renault's allegations were that the executives held satellite bank accounts in Lichtenstein and Switzerland where their funds for spying were hid. Renault has now the not so pleasant task of finding a proper way to compensate the execs ...
