The manipulator and the lords of the manor | M6 | 66 minutes

An entire family of lords of the manor subjected to the influence of a manipulator: that’s the extraordinary case that will be heard next week in Bordeaux. The story began 12 years ago. First, Thierry Tilly gains the confidence of the mother of the family. Then of her children, her brother and her old mother: 11 people in all! Thierry Tilly tells each one of them that he is a secret agent. His mission: to protect the De Vedrines family from a deadly threat. He progressively lures them into a persecution complex and relieves them of their fortune. Today, they have all escaped his influence and are now turned against him. They explain the workings of the mental hold to which they fell victims.
