Overview

• Today's hearing in Rome proceeded without Depardieu or the photographer in attendance.
• Depardieu is accused of attacking Barillari at Harry's Bar in May 2024 by hurling ice and striking him multiple times.
• Barillari has demanded a formal apology, and Depardieu's lawyer plans to file a complaint on behalf of the actor's companion, who alleges the photographer assaulted her.
• The trial is now paused until the next hearing scheduled for October 15, 2025.
• In mid-May a Paris court convicted Depardieu of sexual harassment during a 2021 film shoot and sentenced him to 18 months on probation.
