Overview
- A customer filmed the manager on 14 August saying “La communauté juive, vous êtes trop nombreux,” and the video went viral on social networks.
- The Grenoble prosecutor issued a communiqué on 2 September confirming the remarks and announcing that proceedings for public discriminatory insult will be brought.
- The prosecutor has summoned the manager to appear before the tribunal correctionnel de Grenoble on 2 March 2027 at 13:30 to face the charge.
- Authorities said the person who filmed the clip did not provoke the incident and ministers Laurent Nuñez and Aurore Bergé publicly condemned the remarks after the video circulated.
- The case is being treated as part of a broader problem of antisemitic acts in France, where the Interior Ministry recorded 1,320 such incidents in 2025, a level officials say remains historically high.
