This Wednesday, November 2, Fabrice Di Vizio was fixed on his fate. The very controversial lawyer was awaiting his sanction for his speeches on the Covid-19 pandemic. The Order of Lawyers of the Paris Bar ended up deciding… The main person concerned was “sentenced to six months suspended sentence”announced our colleagues from France Info.
According to the latest news, Fabrice Di Vizio’s defense could possibly appeal… His lawyers Armelle Bouchareb, Julia Courvoisier, Sefen Guezguez, Ouadie Elhamamouchi, Philippe Ohayon are wondering a lot about the ” freedom of expression “ of their client when he speaks outside of his duties. In the turmoil, the ex-columnist of Cyril Hanouna delivered on this decision which would be “a disavowal” for the Order.
Thus for five years, the latter will not have the right “be part of the Council of the Order, the National Bar Council, other professional bodies and to stand for the office of President or Deputy President”. Our colleagues also claim that Fabrice Di Vizio “ was found guilty” in the eyes of the Disciplinary Council of the Bar Association “breaches of the essential principles of the profession of dignity, conscience, probity, humanity, honor, brotherhood, delicacy, moderation, courtesy, as well as the rules relating to communications and public interventions of the legal profession”.
That same day, Fabrice Di Vizio took to his Twitter account to joke about the situation: “Public enemy number 1, the Jacques Mesrine of the legal profession has received his conviction. And when for weeks, we insist on the laxity of justice, here is a perfect example, he said on the famous social network. “How, in view of the crimes committed by the lawyer that I am, could I be sentenced only to a six-month suspended sentence? What could have gone through the head of this disciplinary council? The Bar Association had requested six months, three of which were firm. That was a pain. This disciplinary council went to disavow them by only condemning me with a suspended sentence”. To be continued…

Justice is no longer what it was: wallowing in laxity, it does not condemn me even one day of a firm ban on exercise! Disavowal upon disavowal! I am prohibited from presenting myself to the order for 5 years pic.twitter.com/mmUbIuoW3p
