In 2018, a homeless man discovered his head in

.
The magazine devoted several pages to metro crack users and published a photo of this 48-year-old homeless man in the Marx-Dormoy station (18th arrondissement).

the Parisian.
Initially, he did not necessarily want to recover the money, but that the image be removed, in particular from the website and the mobile application, specifies the daily.
But in 2019, he won against the weekly and obtained 10,000 euros in compensation for the damage suffered.
Daily penalties are also put in place for the weekly.

"It's an exemplary decision"
In its judgment, the first civil chamber of the court of Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine) recalled that "everyone has, whatever their notoriety, their fortune, their present or future functions, the right to respect for their private life. and enjoys an exclusive right over its image allowing it to oppose its fixation […] without prior authorization, ”notes
Le Parisien.
Thirty thousand additional euros were paid.
