The Renault spy farce has taken yet another, this time totally unexpected twist. Presumptive spy catchers at Renault are behind bars. Renault’s security managers Marc Tixador and Dominique Gevrey are being held for questioning at the offices of France’s DCRI domestic intelligence agency which is investigating the matter, a spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor told Reuters.

As reported before, security officials at Renault had paid a source €250,000, or about $345,000, for information. That information turned out to be a fraud. Now, the DCRI wants the fraudulent tipster.

The two are “the only ones who know” the informant, Renault’s lawyer, Jean Reinhart, said.
