The lawyer Juan Branco is indicted for rape and placed under judicial supervision, he is also prohibited from communicating with the complainant, Franceinfo learned from a source close to the investigation Wednesday, November 24. “We will demonstrate that the charges amount to slander”, reacted the lawyers of Juan Branco, Yassine Bouzrou and Françoise Cotta.
He was taken into custody in this case last June, after the filing of a handrail by a young woman of 20 in April at the police station of the 14th arrondissement of Paris.
In a long message published on Facebook the day after this handrail, Juan Branco, close to La France insoumise, refuted these accusations and challenged “any report not consented to”. He said he met the young woman via Instagram and that they then spent the night at his place.
He claimed that the young woman had left the next day, after having “kissed, on the face, on the lips” and have him “smiled”. Still according to him, she then came back to collect these things in the evening, “cold and troubled”. He added that she had told him to be “went to the police the next day”, “that she had left a handrail because two friends she had spoken to had suggested it to her”.

He also defends Christophe Dettinger, the boxer filmed hitting two gendarmes during a mobilization of “yellow vests”. He is also the counsel of Maxime Nicolle, alias Fly Rider, “yellow vest” active on social networks.
