PARIS (Reuters) - French carmaker Renault is victim of an organized international network, but no critically important information related to its electric car program has been leaked, a top executive said.
Three Renault executives, including one member of its management committee, were suspended on Monday over the leaking of data, which prompted the government to warn of a widespread risk to French industry.
In an interview with Le Monde newspaper's weekend edition, Chief Operating Officer Patrick Pelata said information may have been leaked regarding the costs and economic model of the program.
"This is the work of professionals," Pelata said. "Renault is the victim of an organized international network."
