From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Patrick Ouart (born May 25, 1959 in Savenelle, municipality of Pendé, France[1]) is a former French magistrate, and former personal advisor for justice to Prime Minister Edouard Balladur. He is also a former corporate officer at Suez, in charge of ethical issues and corporate gouvernance. From May 16, 2007 to May 15, 2012, he served as personal advisor to the former French president Nicolas Sarkozy.

In 2008, Patrick Ouart and Jean-Pierre Hansen have been recognized guilty by a Belgian court of "hacking". In February 2004, they tried to spy the telecommunications installation of an employee of Electrabel. The affair had then been called by the Belgian press the "Electragate" affair.[2][3]
