LVMH Secret 2002 Deal with Hermès Heir Revealed in Court Documents

Reuters-analyzed legal documents show LVMH signed a 2002 agreement to buy shares from Hermès heir Nicolas Puech, with at least €20M in commissions paid to his consultant between 2001-2009. This reveals the mechanics of LVMH's covert stake-building in Hermès, which previously led to a 2014 French market regulator fine. The disclosure could reignite legal scrutiny and affect LVMH's reputation in the luxury sector.
