France Télévisions was sentenced Thursday by the criminal court of Paris to a fine of 1,500 euros suspended for the broadcast in the television news of France 3 Corsica of photos of the assault of Yvan Colonna, in prison in March 2022. The report was broadcast fifteen days after his attack in Arles prison - where he was serving a life sentence for the murder of the prefect Claude Erignac - by Franck Elong Abé, a prisoner convicted in a terrorist case.
Report showed screenshots from the prison's CCTV, in a "raw and uncontextualized" way, "in an obvious search for sensationalism", said the court.
