In 2012, Francois "Franky" Petitmal was implicated in 13 attempted and 9 successful assassinations across Europe and Central America between 2003 and 2009. Petitmal was notorious for always being accompanied by his dog, Bepé, a Boxer / Australian Stumpy-tailed cattle dog mongrel.
Several witnesses from the failed assassinations spoke in court about having seen Bepé playing active roles in several cases, including supplying ammunition, distracting security, and mauling bodyguards. After protracted discussions, prosecutors, in an unprecedented step, indicted Bepé as an accessory in a total of 15 cases.
While being transported to a hearing in November 2010, Bepé slipped free of his guards, dived through a passing tram, and lost himself in the crowd. He is still wanted, at large, and considered dangerous.

Investigators connected to the Petitmal case have looking into the possibility that Bepé may be operating as a soldier of fortune. Photograph by by ♪_Lisa_♪. |
