Freeze Corleone Set for February 2026 Trial in Nice Over Alleged Terrorism Apology

The case centers on a 2024 track shared online that victims and prosecutors link to the 2016 truck attack.

Overview

  • Prosecutor Damien Martinelli said the rapper will appear before the Nice criminal court on February 16, 2026.
  • He is charged with apologizing for terrorism through an online public communication service under French law.
  • Investigators heard him in a free hearing on Tuesday, where he invoked his right to silence after earlier missed summons.
  • Several survivors of the July 14, 2016 attack were interviewed in the case and filed complaints, according to the prosecutor’s office.
  • The proceedings stem from lyrics in the 2024 song Haaland that are reported to evoke the Nice promenade truck attack that killed 86 people and wounded more than 400.
