Melvyn Jaminet: after the helmet… the court

The Paris Public Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation into “death threats based on origin” against French rugby player Melvyn Jaminet following a report from SOS Racisme.

Melvyn Jaminet will pay dearly for his remarks. On July 9, the Paris Prosecutor’s Office opened an investigation for “death threats based on origin” against the French rugby player. This procedure stems from a report by SOS Racisme. The French XV fullback is also the subject of an internal investigation by the French Rugby Federation (FFR). His club, RC Toulon, has also announced that it is conducting an “internal investigation”. The Toulon player is accused of having made racist remarks in a video posted on Instagram on July 6, following the first test match of the Blues played against Argentina.
