Karim Benzema had planned to file a complaint against Gérald Darmanin for defamation, the appeal was filed Tuesday with the Court of Justice of the Republic against the Minister of the Interior.
Disputed Minister of the Interior, after numerous controversies, Gérald Darmanin did not stop himself from making unfounded allegations against Karim Benzema, affirming that the 2022 Ballon d’Or was “ in notorious connection » with the Muslim Brotherhood. “KB9” had given its support to the “ residents of Gaza victims once again of these unjust bombings which spare no women or children », last October 15 on X.
As indicated by RTL, Benzema filed a complaint with the Court of Justice of the Republic (CJR), the only court authorized to prosecute and judge members of the government. His lawyer Hugues Vigier filed a 92-page appeal, to ensure that the Al-Ittihad player (currently stranded in Mauritius because of Cyclone Belal) had no link with this organization considered terrorist in certain countries . The Minister of the Interior risks a fine of 12,000 euros.
Me Vigier denounces a “ political instrumentalization ”, adding thus: “ We throw people out like this, to general opprobrium, just to create a false communication stunt. With family consequences for those close to him as well which are considerable. We are sowing division in France, we have a lot of people who don’t understand this kind of talk, some who exclude Karim Benzema and some who feel excluded through what we say about him. This is the complete opposite of what a man who calls himself a politician should work towards. “.
