Key witness, whistleblower
X-v-France.com
I am a key witness, whistleblower, in the major criminal case targeting McDonald’s Corporation and their accomplices for fraud, money laundering, and corruption of foreign officials and magistrates. The European Court of Human Rights approved my request for anonymity (Rules 33 and 47 of the Rules of Court).
Who am I?
On February 16, 2023, I was formally notified that the European Court of Human Rights agreed to accept my request for anonymity. Therefore, I don’t want to talk about me. I want to talk about the crimes McDonald’s Corporation and their accomplices have committed over the years. I want to talk about what the judicial authorities are doing to bring McDonald’s Corporation and its accomplices to justice.
I am currently actively notifying the American authorities. Most of my communications addressed to the FBI can be read on Federal-Bureau-of-Investigation.com/open-letters/ which is a non-official website on the FBI that I created for the purpose of transparency in this unprecedented major crime case.
McDonald’s Corporation has committed one of the biggest fraud in history.

Email sent to Adam ROGALSKI (State Department, FBI) and Mahonri MANJARREZ (FBI) in which I give examples of the serious frauds the transnational criminal enterprise McDonald’s Corporation and/or its affiliated companies committed.
I give to the F.B.I. 3 concrete examples of serious frauds McDonald’s Corporation and/or its affiliated companies committed. This should have been enough for the F.B.I. to initiate a criminal investigation targeting McDonald’s Corporation and/or its subsidiary companies for fraud and money laundering.
