A fake resistance fighter led a rogue maquis

The Lecoz maquis was a clandestine armed group that operated in Indre-et-Loire during the Second World War before being classified as a rogue maquis due to its excesses. Its self-proclaimed leader, arrested in October 1944, was actually named Georges Dubosq and was unmasked as a former Gestapo agent. He took advantage of his position to accumulate a fortune estimated at 15 million francs before being sentenced to death and executed by firing squad in May 1946 in Angers.
