Booba Placed Under Judicial Supervision, Faces December Paris Hearing Over Cyberharassment and Discriminatory Insults

A press-law chamber will handle the case following posts on X that drew complaints from two media figures.

Overview

  • The Paris prosecutor says Booba was presented to a magistrate on September 9 and placed under contrôle judiciaire pending a December appearance.
  • He is accused over January 2024 posts targeting journalist Linh-Lan Dao and essayist Tristan Mendès France, including discriminatory insults and aggravated cyberharassment in Dao’s case.
  • The supervision order includes a no-contact ban with the complainants, a €10,000 security due within 15 days, and an obligation to answer court summonses.
  • AFP and Le Figaro report a court date of December 3, while Le Parisien cites December 9, indicating a discrepancy in the scheduled hearing date.
  • A separate investigation involving influencer Magali Berdah remains open, with Booba still under indictment and judicial supervision in that case.
