Jean-Louis Bruguière

Born: May 29, 1943, Tours, France

Jean-Louis Bruguière is a prominent figure in French counter-terrorism. He served as an investigating magistrate for many years, specializing in complex cases involving terrorism, organized crime, and political corruption. His career spanned decades, starting in the early 1970s, culminating in his retirement from the judiciary in 2007.

Known for his rigorous and sometimes controversial investigative methods, Bruguière led investigations into high-profile terrorist attacks, including the 1989 UTA Flight 772 bombing over Niger, the 1994 Air France Flight 8969 hijacking in Algiers, and the 1995 Paris Métro and RER bombings. He also pursued investigations related to Rwandan genocide, Corsican separatists and various other international criminal networks.

Following his retirement, Bruguière remained active in security and counter-terrorism related work. He has published books, including his memoirs titled "Ce que je n'ai pas pu dire" ("What I Couldn't Say"). Information regarding his specific recent projects since retirement is limited in readily accessible public sources.

Bruguière has often been a subject of media attention due to the nature of his work and the controversies surrounding some of his investigations. However, details regarding his current social media presence are not readily available in public resources.
