Algerian influencers in the crosshairs of French justice

A wave of arrests recently affected the community of Algerian influencers, following comments made online deemed unacceptable. Three individuals thus find themselves in the sights of French justice.

It all started with the arrest of “Zazou Youcef”, an influencer already sentenced last December by the Brest criminal court to 12 months of imprisonment for his participation in the 2023 riots. This time, the accusations are even more serious: he is accused of having called for attacks to be carried out on French soil.
