Diplomat Loses Suit Over Defamation Case In France
The court dismissed the defamation suit by Alexander Groger, former secretary of the Russian legation in Washington, against Countess de Rodetlee de Pozzle over allegations of theft of a blue diamond. The case, heard from July 10, involved the Comtesse and Count Redellec de Porzie, with motives tied to personal disputes and a prior arrest in Brest. The diamond, valued at 5,000 francs, disappeared from the Comtesse’s dressing area, leading to the suit and subsequent withdrawal of charges by the accusers.
