Overview
- Attorney Nadia El Bouroumi appeared on November 26 before the regional disciplinary council in Nîmes on charges of lacking moderation and delicacy for Instagram videos posted during the Mazan rape trial.
- An up to 18‑month prohibition from practice has been requested, the defense pleaded for acquittal, and a decision is scheduled for December 18.
- The case centers on two posts, including a car video set to “Wake Me Up Before You Go‑Go,” and a courtroom recap; the original videos were deleted, leaving only TV excerpts in the file and prompting questions about procedural validity.
- The Avignon bar leader argues the posts damaged the profession and sought publicity, while El Bouroumi says she was responding to harassment and recounting the proceedings.
- She previously received a one‑year suspended suspension in an unrelated matter and has appealed, and her lawyers signal they may take this case to the European Court of Human Rights.
