Marwan Lahoud (Arab: مروان لحود), born March 6, 1966, in Lebanon, is a French-Lebanese weapons engineer, living in France.

[1] In May 2017, he was appointed chairman of the supervisory board of OT-Morpho, a position he only held for a short time, even if he remained director for two years of different entities of this group, renamed from IDEMIA.

In this case, police from the Central Anti-Corruption Office (OCLCIFF) then searched the home of former Airbus Group number 2 Marwan Lahoud on the morning of February 8, 2016.

[9][10] According to Mediapart, a leaflet written by Marwan Lahoud, n° 2 of Airbus Group, predicted that the commissions could reach 250 million dollars, according to the two Turkish agents.

According to documents cited by Mediapart, the SMO's trick to conceal these commissions were false invoices issued for a fictitious pipeline project in the Caspian Sea.

[13] In Great Britain, the Financial Times published on January 31, 2020, in an article entitled "Airbus ran 'massive' bribery 'schemes to win orders", a photo of him with this title: "Marwan Lahoud, who led the strategy organization and marketing of Airbus, SMO, a division dedicated to securing sales in emerging markets and at the heart of a catalog of offenses.

In 2009, Claude Guéant had put pressure on Airbus (ex-EADS ) pays a commission for the benefit of Alexandre Djouhri on the sale of planes to Libya, and the judges discovered that a sum of 4 million euros had been directed in early 2010 to a mysterious Lebanese company."

In January 2020, the French press announced that the French, British and American courts had validated the agreements made earlier this week by Airbus and the French National Financial Prosecutor's Office (PNF), the British Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and the Department of Justice ( DOJ) in the United States under which the European group AIRBUS undertakes to pay fines totaling 3.6 billion euros: 2.08 billion in France as part of a public interest legal agreement (CJIP ), 984 million in the United Kingdom and 526 million in the United States.

[17][18] Today dissolved, the group's unit called Strategy and Marketing Organization (SMO), led by Marwan Lahoud, was at the heart of the matter.
