A 27-year-old woman, a couple of Russian activist Piotrs Pavlenski , is detained in the investigation for the dissemination of a video of sexual content that triggered the resignation of Benjamin Griveaux as a candidate for mayor of Paris by the party of French President Emmanuel Macron

She has been detained since Saturday to clarify whether she committed the crimes of attack on privacy of privacy and dissemination of images of a sexual nature without the person's consent, sources from the Paris Prosecutor's Office said.

The Paris Prosecutor's Office activated this investigation following the complaint "against X" (without identifying a culprit) by Griveaux on Saturday, when Pavlenski was also arrested, in principle for another cause he had pending for allegedly injuring two people in a fight in the French capital during a party last New Year's Eve.

According to the French press, the young law student had been the recipient of the video recorded in May 2018 by Griveaux, in which the then spokesman of the Government of Macron was seen masturbating.

Pavlenski, an iconoclastic opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin , who has lived in France since 2017, when he obtained refugee status, claimed Friday the disclosure of these images to highlight the "hypocrisy" and "cynicism" of which until that day he was the candidate for the municipal of Paris in March for the party of the head of state.

This 35-year-old Russian, who has already been sentenced to a firm jail sentence in France for burning a branch of the Bank of France in the Place de la Bastille in Paris in 2017, said he denounced that Griveaux's sexual behavior is very different from the image he wanted to give the voters to whom he had used his wife during the campaign.

The dissemination of videos of sexual content on the Internet without the consent of the persons who appear can lead to penalties in France of up to two years in prison and a fine of 60,000 euros .

Parallel to the police investigation, the Republic in March (LREM) of Macron is looking for a substitute to head its list in Paris to the municipal ones, which will be held two laps on March 15 and 22.
