Five former Ubisoft executives were reportedly arrested following a year-long sexual assault and harassment investigation within the company.
As reported by French publication Libération, translated by GI.biz, former chief creative officer Serge Hascoët and former VP of editorial and creative services Tommy François — both of whom left Ubisoft in summer 2020 following a wave of sexual misconduct allegations — were among those placed in police custody.
The case is being handled by the public prosecutor's office in the Paris district of Bobigny after simultaneous complaints were made by the Solidaires Informatique union and two victims on their own behalf. Judicial police then collected testimonies from around 50 current and former employees. The plaintiff's lawyer Maude Beckers told Libération the investigation "reveals systemic sexual violence".
