Cyril Hubert Marie Bourlon de Rouvre is a French businessman and politician, born 19 December 1945 at Boulogne-Billancourt.
[citation needed] In 1979, upon the death of his father (who was murdered by his valet), he inherited sizeable real estate holdings, a sugar refinery and 28 companies.
Passionate about cars and racing, he rallied with Thierry Sabine, including Abidjan-Nice driving a Range Rover.
Owner of the Formula 1 team AGS from March 1989 to 1991, he swallowed $18 million and began selling the activities of his group, about 70 companies: First, Transair, then the sugar factory, sold to the Compagnie de Navigation Mixte, and in 1992, the movie catalogue lent to UGC in the form of a merger.
In 1992, Cyril de Rouvre bought the Formula 1 team Ligier for an estimated price of 200 million francs.
On 5 May 1993, a complaint for fraud was filed against de Rouvre by Guy Verrecchia and Alain Sussfeld, the leaders of UGC, following the June 1992 takeover of Cofragec.
