The scene took place Monday morning, on the sidelines of the blocking of the Paris judicial court by lawyers. A magistrate of the Paris prosecutor's office has filed a complaint for violence against independent journalist Gaspard Glanz, learned 20 Minutes from the prosecution, confirming information from Le Point . The Paris public prosecutor's office requested a change of scenery.

According to the weekly, the magistrate wanted to overcome this blockage - put in place by lawyers to protest against the pension reform - when he saw the cameraman filming him from behind. Refusing that his image be captured, he then put his hand on the lens. The tone would be quickly raised and according to the magistrate, Gaspard Glanz would have struck him a whim, without however knowing his professional quality.

Known for his coverage of social movements, the founder of Taranis News had already been arrested and taken into custody last April after a finger of honor to the police on the sidelines of a demonstration of "yellow vests". He had been sentenced to 30 days fine at 10 euros, or 300 euros.
