In one of the most outrageous and sophisticated scams in modern European history, Franco-Israeli con artist Gilbert Chikli posed as high-ranking government officials — including France’s Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian to convince CEOs, religious leaders, and billionaires to wire him millions. Using realistic silicone masks, Skype calls, and elaborate fake offices, Chikli orchestrated a fraud that netted over €100 million between 2006 and 2019.
This is the true story of how power, persuasion, and pure nerve turned one man into the architect of a global con and how it all came crashing down.
