Benzema demands 40,000 euros from “‍the usurper‍” Damien Rieu

The confrontation took place this Tuesday in Lyon as part of the case between Karim Benzema and Damien Rieu.

The footballer has filed a complaint about several messages on social networks that he considers defamatory on the part of the far-right activist. The latter appeared this Tuesday in Lyon for his appearance, while the player trained at OL and legend of Real Madrid, was represented by his lawyer. The verdict will take place on September 19, 2023, but the journalists present on the spot indicated that the prosecutor requested the release for the first disputed message, and a fine of 10,000 euros for the second. For his part, Karim Benzema and his advisers are asking for compensation of 40,000 euros for defamatory messages, sent shortly after the assassination of Samuel Paty in the fall of 2020.

Benzema’s lawyer dismantles Damien Rieu

” Damien Rieu creates amalgams by making montages, in association of photos of Islamist terrorists with photos of Karim Benzema, creating confusion and creating the idea that Karim Benzema would support all this, and would encourage terrorism. For their part, they talked about everything, except the specific subject that was discussed in court. Damien Rieu presents himself as a whistleblower, he is a usurper, a falsifier, who utters lies with the sole ambition of smearing the personalities he has designated with his vindictiveness by believing himself in the most total immunity. Today, I hope it’s the end of recess. He does not realize the damage he creates, and the damage he can create in our society. Or he’s cynical and he doesn’t care “, delivered Karim Benzema’s lawyer on BFM Lyon.
