Patrice Pastor is a Monegasque businessman and property developer. He serves as the Chairman of J.B. Pastor & Fils. He is the great grandson of the company founder, the real-estate mogul Jean-Baptiste Pastor.[1]

Career

Pastor serves as the Chairman of J.B. Pastor & Fils. He is also the head of Pastor Real Estate, based in one of the Pastor Group's Mayfair properties at 48 Curzon Street, London.[2]

He was the owner of the weekly L'Observateur de Monaco until 2010.[3]

Controversy

Pastor has been accused of being the poison-pen letter-writer targeting Monegasque personalities close to Prince Albert II, and a digital smear campaign in order to settle a score against real estate competitors and keep the stranglehold on the main real estate public tenders.[4]

Pastor is depicted as angry and seeking revenge after the loss of several lucrative public contracts, such as the pricey renovation of the Esplanade des Pêcheurs (fishermen's wharf) which will impact the Monaco Grand Prix, despite a seven-years long trial.[5] French and Monegasque Justice are cooperating, and found suspicious money transfers to an Israeli intelligence company.[6]

The Prince publicly complained about the so-called 'Rock's Files' (Dossiers du Rocher), which he called a "destabilization campaign" against his authority.[7]
