Polemicist Dieudonné M’bala M’bala was fined 10,000 euros for racist insults against writer and actress Rachel Khan on Friday 30 September. The fine can be transform into prison in case of non-payment. The latter had declared, in a video of October 6, 2020 in “response” to Rachel Khan : “you will remain a poor negress at the end of the story”.
The 17th correctional chamber of the Paris court also ordered him to pay 2,000 euros in damages to the writer, as well as a symbolic euro to the International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism (Licra), which had reported the video, and a total of 3,000 euros in legal fees. Dieudonné’s lawyer said he had appealed the judgment.
Dieudonné disputes the charges against him, and claimed to have been the victim of “deepfake”, this very sophisticated digital trick technique consisting, among other things, of superimposing one face on another. Dieudonné has been convicted many times in recent years for racial slurs or incitement to hatred.
