For those who understand French: I assume this is the primary source:

This is the equivalent google translate link:

Mediapart is not Le Canard enchaîné.[1] Though Le Canard enchaîné is not available for free online. Their reporting also tanked Fillon's chances during the last French presidential election.

One can think of Le Canard enchaîné as the French version of Private Eye.

The original Mediapart story also references Le Canard enchaîné.[2]

I found a lot of secondary sources mentioning both Canard and Mediapart as original sources. And Canard is not available, so I took what I could get.

I got the impression the story started at Canard, but was expanded upon by research from mediapart.

Example in English, plenty more in French if you google for them: https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2021/03/22/ikea-france-g...
