[446] Final Judgment 543
(It was deLannurien, as we noted in Chapter 16, who was later the
primary conduit between the Yitzhak Shamir of the Mossad and James J.
Angleton of the CIA in the JFK assassination conspiracy.)
When Pierre realized that he, in fact, was the intended patsy in the
Nasser assassination plot, he surrendered to Egyptian intelligence at Cairo
International Airport.
For refusing to give up his life in a Mossad-sponsored conspiracy,
Pierre—the scion of a distinguished family and son of the renowned French
diplomat, Rene Neuville, head of the Consulate General of France in
Jerusalem until his death in 1952—became a man without a country.
After fleeing to South America and then to Canada, Pierre was tried in
absentia by a French military court and convicted of "treason" and "breach of
external security of the state" and condemned to 24 years of forced labor.
When, in 1976, still in exile, Pierre sought clemency by approaching
the French consul general's office in Vancouver, Canada, where he was
then living, his request was rejected.
At that time, in a document dated "5 OCT 1976" the French Ministry of
Defense advised the French Consul General in Vancouver that Pierre's
request had been denied. It was Bernard Ledun at the French Consul
General's office who released this letter of denial to Pierre, not realizing the
explosive nature of the document.
As Pierre says, French intelligence was "furious with this gaffe of Mr.
Ledun, an act very treasonable, that of giving to outsiders a letter of the
minister of Defense giving credit to my allegations that I had been a
diplomat and intelligence officer serving France in Libya and Italy.
"You may argue," Pierre acknowledges, "that this letter does not prove
that I served the French Government. Well, where did you see a simple
French citizen being accused of Treason and "atteinte a la surete de l'Etat,"
condemned to the terrible sentence of 20 years of hard labor?
"Only if you believe in Santa," comments Pierre, "could you believe
that anyone may be guilty of such horrendous 'crimes' without having
knowledge of State secrets. And by the way, "atteinte a la surete de l'Etat"
means, in good English 'trying to overthrow the State by a subversive act.'
"It supposes that I had the power to betray and harm the French State in
the period referred to. That is, in the 1950's. That's credit indeed towards
my allegations. And this is why Mr. Ledun had to pay the price of his
mistake by death.
Pierre contends: "Mr. Ledun was murdered in Paris by French
intelligence on February 1, 1994. He gave me the weapon by which I can
sustain my allegations. If once I was convicted of 'treason,' why not a
second time?
"Without this letter, French intelligence would answer to your
allegations in Final Judgment that they never heard of me, that I am an
imposter or some kind of nut, lunatic, crank or else. But this damned letter
