Former Ubisoft Executives Arrested for Sexual Assault and Harassment Allegations

French police have arrested five former Ubisoft executives, including Serge Hascoët and Tommy François, after a years-long investigation into allegations of sexual assault and harassment within the company. The arrests come after reports of abuse and misconduct surfaced in 2020, leading to the firing of several executives. A 2021 report revealed employee dissatisfaction with how the company handled the situation. The case is being handled by the Bobigny district of Paris, and the plaintiffs' lawyer claims it reveals systemic sexual violence. Ubisoft has stated that it has no knowledge of the details and cannot comment.
