Text messages obtained by Le Monde, sent from the Russian's lawyer to Narmino and other Monaco officials, appear to suggest that Bouvier was «lured» to Monaco early in 2015, where he was arrested and
subsequently released on bail.
He told the court that a High Court of the FCT had in November 29, 2016
released the former Minister
on bail and he was
subsequently arraigned before this same court
on five court charge, which was later withdrawn by the EFCC.
