Multiple fraud facts

The eighth chamber is filled with journalists who have come to witness the transfer of the couple’s case. On January 14, he was supposed to appear for several fraudulent acts committed with his wife.

The couple used different troupes of Noémie Montagne so that the comedian could perform in Roubaix, Armentier and Marche en Bareulet. Theaters are increasingly reluctant to meet Dieudonné, who has already been convicted of incitement to hatred.

Deceived venues

As a reminder, the couple used the companies L’esprit de la forêt and Productions de la plume, owned by Dieudonne’s wife, to reserve theaters and offer Dieudonné the opportunity to perform where they are not.

For each performance of the comedian, about 600 people were expected. To explain the behavior of each of these performances, the argument is the same: “For safety’s sake, we chose to let the show take place.”

Dieudonné’s associate with the public fortune

Of the three plaintiffs today, there was only one representative defending Public Position. Then the lawyer points to “serious consequences in terms of damage to the image.”

He explains: “We connected Dieudonne with Condition Publique.” He bases his defense on Dieudonné’s dirtiest suggestions that make people react. He mentions in particular Charlie Hebdo, anti-Semitism, and the controversial comedian’s political failures.

He returns to the letter he received the day after Dieudonné’s first audience, January 14th. An insulting threatening letter, as a result of which the lawyer demanded damages in the amount of about 15,000 euros.

Prohibition to appear at the request of the prosecution

Then comes I, David De Stefano, who, more than half an hour later, begged his clients to declare their innocence: “There has never been a lie! “.

In response to a civil lawyer who based his defense on the Dieudonné / Condition Publique association, the lawyer stressed: “My client is not responsible for what he says on the Internet, he is not the CEO of Google! “.

He then calls on the Lille court to make “a decision that respects Dieudonne and respects the law.” The discussion will take place on July 9, in particular, the prosecutor’s office has enforced a ban on appearing in the Northern Department.

All remain innocent until all remedies have been exhausted.
