  The Paris Hit: Anis al-Naqqash and the Assassination That Failed

  Aug 19, 20264 min

  July 18, 1980. A quiet building in Neuilly-sur-Seine. Three men posing as journalists walk into the lobby. Minutes later, a young police officer is bleeding out, another is dead, and a 45-year-old woman has been executed in her own apartment. The intended target—the last prime minister of the Shah of Iran—survives. Two French citizens do not. This is the story of Anis al-Naqqash, the Lebanese militant who once stood beside Carlos the Jackal, received orders linked to Tehran, and carried out one of the most brazen acts of state-backed terrorism on French soil. Host Alexander Lawson reconstructs the failed hit, the lives lost, the life sentence, and the controversial presidential pardon that set the gunman free. A true crime episode about a political assassination that missed its mark… and the ordinary people who paid the price.

  The Boar of the Moors: Albert Millet’s Cycle of Release and Murder

  Aug 19, 20266 min

  In the hills above Hyères, they called him the Boar of the Moors. Albert Pierre Millet was a man who could not accept the word “no.” Between 1954 and 2007 he killed three people — each time after the justice system decided he was safe enough to walk free. In this episode of A True Crime Podcast , Alexander Lawson traces Millet’s chilling pattern of jealousy, possession, and lethal violence across more than fifty years in the south of France. From a fatal shooting in the streets of Hyères to a final confrontation that ended with a self-inflicted gunshot, this is the story of a killer the system kept releasing… and the victims who paid the price.

  The Pen That Killed: Charles Maurras and the Blood on His Words

  Aug 19, 20264 min

  In a cold Lyon courtroom in January 1945, a nearly deaf 76-year-old man rises to face his sentence and shouts one final, venomous line: “This is the revenge of Dreyfus!” Charles-Marie-Photius Maurras never held a gun. He never planted a bomb. Yet for decades his newspaper columns called for deaths, named targets, demanded hostages be shot, and cheered the persecution of Jews, Resistance fighters, and political enemies. During the Occupation those words became tips that led to arrests, deportations, and executions. Host Alexander Lawson examines the rise of France’s most influential ultra-nationalist writer, the death threats and provocations that landed him in prison, the lethal impact of his wartime journalism, and the trial that finally held him accountable. This is the story of a man whose ink left a trail of real blood—and the moment a liberated nation decided some words are not free.
