Frédéric Chatillon (born 15 February 1968) is a French businessman. He worked as the communications adviser to former National Rally president Marine Le Pen.[1]
Chatillon has been a "friend and confidant" of Le Pen since they were at law school together.[1] As a student, he was president of Groupe Union Défense, a far-right student group.
Judges Renaud Van Ruymbeke and Aude Buresi are investigating Chatillon for alleged "illegal financing" of the Front National.[1]
French newspaper Le Monde, as part of the Panama Papers investigation reported that Chatillon had used his company to set up an international network of shell companies and false invoices.[2] On his Facebook page, Chatillon wrote, "obviously, the Front National has nothing to do with this private affair, neither directly or indirectly".[2] The complex scheme is alleged to involve companies in complex system involving companies in Hong Kong, Singapore, Panama and the British Virgin Islands.[citation needed]
The press allegations have been dismissed by the online news portal Atlantico [3] as mere libels and politically oriented news.
Frédéric Chatillon is separated[4] from Marie d’Herbais de Thun, born in 1971, friend of Marine Le Pen, daughter of Pierre-Guillaume and Katherine d'Herbais de Thun, one of the Cendrine Blot-Le Chevallier (born Chéreil de la Rivière) sisters.[5]
