Overview

• The trial, which began June 2 in Bobigny, accuses Hascoët, Thomas François and Guillaume Patrux of orchestrating systemic sexual and moral harassment at Ubisoft.
• Hascoët told the court he never witnessed any sexist, homophobic or harassing comments despite staff allegations of abuse.
• He admitted that asking female subordinates questions about topics like the hormone oxytocin was “very maladroit” but insisted he saw no wrongdoing.
• Testimony revealed his assistant once threatened an employee with a knife and sold drugs from his desk, yet management initially offered the victim vacation time and later only transferred the assistant internally.
• Multiple witnesses described being ordered to run personal errands for Hascoët, from picking up his young daughter to retrieving forgotten items across the country.
