Yes, according to the disciplinary section of the academic council of the University of Paris-I - Panthéon-Sorbonne, which - very rare - chose to cancel the diploma of this various right-wing municipal councilor of Courbevoie (Hauts-de-Seine).

Plagiarism charge
After conducting its investigation, the disciplinary section of the university says it canceled the former student's thesis and withdrew his diploma. She considers that the manuscript (…) is almost entirely composed of an assembly of texts (…) recopied according to one or more of the plagiarism procedures aimed at making the reader believe that Mr. Derambarsh is the author ”.
This law thesis on police files, entitled "Police file, a legal and societal framework in a controversial environment", allowed Arash Derambarsh to become a lawyer. The Sorbonne has also pronounced a definitive exclusion of the author from any public higher education establishment. "This case is terrible, there will be a before and an after, it will of course have consequences," Georges Haddad, president of the University of Paris-I , told Le Monde . "It is the honor of the university which is at stake, the quality of its diplomas, even more at the doctorate level, the absolute diploma".
Arash Derambarsh will appeal
With Le Monde , the person concerned defends himself against any plagiarism. “At no time do I get an idea from someone else. On the other hand, it is true, there is a problem of form, the quotes are not put in the right place ”. His lawyer Yassine Bouzrou, regrets the failure to respect “fundamental rights” of his client and assures us that the Sorbonne has not taken into account “the testimonies which have been provided in order to attest to his good faith”.
