In 1923, while investigating the penal colony in French Guiana, Albert Londres met Eugène Dieudonné, a young cabinetmaker convicted as an accomplice of Bonnot's gang. Claiming his innocence, the prisoner from the Salvation Islands impressed the reporter, who unsuccessfully attempted to obtain a review of his trial. Dieudonné, whose "case" had become famous in France, managed to escape from the penal colony.
In 1927, Albert Londres set out to find the fugitive. Convinced that he had taken refuge in Brazil, he sent him several messages on behalf of his newspaper, then decided to go to Rio. Dieudonné arrived, and Albert Londres, after having his passport returned to him, brought him back to France in October 1927.
