AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoCourtroom Reckoning: France’s Paris appeals court has convicted Air France and Airbus of corporate manslaughter over the 2009 AF447 Rio–Paris crash that killed 228, ordering the maximum €225,000 fines each—after a 2023 acquittal and a 17-year fight that families say matters more than the penalty.

Health & Food Debate: A French study links common preservatives—even “natural” ones—to higher risks of high blood pressure and heart attack/stroke. Cybercrime Crackdown: A France-led, multi-country operation dismantled a criminal VPN described as “deeply embedded” in cybercrime. Cannes Culture: Film festival coverage continues to dominate, from new premieres to exhibitions honoring journalists killed covering Ukraine’s war.
