Canadian billionaire Guy Laliberte, co-founder of global circus company Cirque du Soleil, is being investigated for growing cannabis on his private island in French Polynesia.
Recently, investigators had detained a man on suspicion of drug possession and found photos on his cellphone purportedly showing Laliberte's marijuana plantation, according to the police spokesperson. The company described Laliberte as a"medical cannabis user" who grows the plant"for his personal use only" at his estate on the remote, tiny atoll of Nuketepipi in the South Pacific Ocean, which forms part of the Tuamotu archipelago in French Polynesia.
The entrepreneur, who is best known for co-founding Cirque du Soleil in Quebec in 1984, appeared in court in Papeete on Wednesday and left the courthouse that afternoon"without any conditions," according to Lune Rouge. He has not been charged with drug trafficking.
