How did LeChiffre know the tracker was in Bond's arm? - Crop sportswoman checking information on tracker

In Casino Royale, after Bond is captured by LeChiffre, the first thing LeChiffre's men do is cut out the tracker MI6 had put in Bond's arm. How did LeChiffre know it was there? He tells Bond

Your friend Mathis, was really my friend Mathis.

But how did he know it was in Bond's arm? It never came up in conversation.



Best Answer

Le Chiffre is basically planting a red herring.

Vesper is the real traitor, but Le Chiffre needs Bond to trust her, so that he can either get information from her or use her for leverage as he did in the torture scene.

So, in order to manipulate Bond, he implies that Mathis is the one that betrayed him and passed information along, rather than the real traitor. It has the added effect of cutting out another support leg from under Bond.
