It appears Olivier Beaufort cannot be coerced into altering his position on the Intelligence Act. We must instead alter public opinion and force him to step down. Work with our Social Engineering Team (SET 6) to gather all necessary information. They will then craft a comprising video using Deepfake, timestamped for a date when Beaufort does not have an alibi, and leak it
to the French Press.

The Kompromat had the desired effect. The video was leaked a day after Macron’s Parliamentary Committee was announced, and not only has Olivier Beaufort been forced to step down from public office, but the affair has called into question the legitimacy of the entire Committee.
However, this comes with increased media attention to all aspects of Beaufort’s life. We are confident he has no concrete alibi for November 9th in his professional circles, but we need to ensure the same is true for his personal life.
