The Paris Criminal Court has issued a verdict against French First Lady Brigitte Macron in the case of online harassment, insults, and the spread of unfounded rumors. The court found that 10 defendants intentionally harmed the president's wife with "malicious, humiliating, and insulting" expressions.
According to the decision, most of the defendants received suspended sentences ranging from 4 to 8 months. One of the defendants was sentenced to six months in prison for failing to appear at the court hearing.
Among the convicts are the head of the advertising agency, Orelin Poirson (8 months on probation), and Amandin Rua, known as a fortune teller (six months in prison). The prosecutor's office assessed them as the initiators of the disinformation campaign against Brigitte Macron. It is also noted that the court forced them to take courses aimed at improving the culture of interaction with other users on the Internet.
The fact is that the defendants spread a baseless conspiracy theory about Brigitte Macron that "she was actually born as a man named Jean-Michel Trone." At the same time, it is noted that they are trying to publicly mock the 24-year age difference between Emmanuel and Brigitte.
The materials mention another important episode: it is said that a lawsuit is currently under consideration against right-wing activist Kendys Owens, who actively spread such rumors about the First Lady of France in the USA. It is noted that this lawsuit was initiated by Emmanuel Macron.
