CLOTILDE REISS, « PIERRE SIRAMY » ET LE SECRET DE LA DEFENSE NATIONALE

Par Claude MONIQUET, Président de l'ESISC

Après avoir été retenue durant dix mois par le régime de Téhéran, Mlle Clotilde Reiss a été libérée et est arrivée en France dimanche 16 mai. On ne peut que s’en féliciter. Bien entendu, les habituelles rumeurs sur les « marchandages » qui auraient entouré la libération de Mlle Reiss n’ont pas manqué de se répandre. On y est habitué.

Ce qui est (beaucoup) plus inhabituel c’est qu’il s’est trouvé un ancien fonctionnaire de la DGSE, M. « Pierre Siramy », pour prétendre, ce  même dimanche, au micro de la chaîne LCI que Clotilde Reiss avait « travaillé au profit de la France pour collecter des informations qui étaient de nature de politique intérieure et d’autres qui étaient sur la prolifération nucléaire. Elle est immatriculée à la DGSE. » 

Et là, il faut l’avouer, les bras nous en tombent.

CLOTILDE REISS, ‘PIERRE SIRAMY’ AND NATIONAL DEFENCE SECRETS

By Claude MONIQUET, President of ESISC

After being held for ten months by the Tehran regime, Miss Clotilde Reiss was freed and arrived back in France on Sunday, 16 May. We can only rejoice. To be sure, there was the usual flurry of rumours over the possible ‘deals’ surrounding her release. But we have become accustomed to that.  

What is (much) more unusual is that a former official of the DGSE, a certain Mr. Pierre Siramy, claimed when speaking this past Sunday to the TV channel LCI that Clotilde Reiss had ‘ worked on behalf of France  collecting information of a domestic political nature as well as  information on nuclear proliferation. She is on the payroll of the DGSE. 

And with that, we throw up our hands in despair.
