Last week, he claimed in a rare interview with L'Express he had no knowledge that Freymond was moving Hermès shares in his name, allegedly for Arnault's benefit.French paper Le Canard Enchaine reported this week that Arnault was soon due to be interviewed by investigative judges in Paris, without specifying the date. His spokesperson did not reply to a request for comment on the report.The Paris public prosecutor's office told Reuters on Tuesday that so far, only Freymond had been placed under formal investigation. Arnault and his companies have not been placed under formal investigation, it added.</div>
