The founder of the magazine Frontières denies claims from a former journalist who has filed a formal complaint citing multiple incidents of misconduct.
- Erik Tegnér, the head of the far-right media outlet Frontières, is accused of sexual assault, harassment, and workplace violence by a former journalist at the publication.
- The plaintiff, identified as Pauline Condomines, alleges three incidents of non-consensual touching during a work trip to South Africa in May 2024, as well as ongoing verbal abuse and threats during her employment.
- Condomines' complaint, filed on February 3, 2025, is supported by five witness testimonies, including accounts from former colleagues describing Tegnér's behavior as tyrannical and abusive.
- Tegnér, who has denied all allegations, claims the accusations are baseless and has expressed confidence in the judicial process to clear his name.
- The accusations come amid broader scrutiny of Frontières, which has faced criticism for its sensationalist content and ties to far-right political figures.
