Ten people in total will be tried on June 3 before the Paris Criminal Court for harassing and / or threatening Mila, after five of them were summoned on Wednesday after their custody, we have learned Wednesday from the prosecution.

At the end of their police custody, which began on Monday, the five suspects, four men and a woman, were brought before a prosecutor from the national center for the fight against online hatred and are summoned for "moral harassment online", said the prosecution.

Four of them are also being prosecuted for "death threats" and the fifth for "threats of crime".

They were placed under judicial supervision pending trial.

All are accused of having attacked Mila after the publication in November by the latter of a new controversial video on Islam.

Six police custody in several departments

On Monday, six people, aged 18 to 35, had been placed in police custody in Paris, Seine-et-Marne, Gironde, Isère, Bouches-du-Rhône and Bas-Rhin, in the part of the investigations carried out by the national center for the fight against online hatred, recently created at the Paris prosecutor's office.

Police custody of a man was lifted on Tuesday without prosecution at this point.

Tuesday, a minor was taken into custody in Val-de-Marne.

He was released "the same day for further investigation," said the prosecution.

Five other people, aged 18 to 29 and arrested on February 9 in Loire-Atlantique, Moselle and Calvados, will also appear on June 3 for “online moral harassment”, and, for two of them, “ death threats ".

Two people have already been sentenced last year

Mila had published in November on the social network TikTok a new video in which she sharply attacked her detractors.

The teenager had shared on Twitter screenshots of the death threats received, some referring to the assassination of Professor Samuel Paty in October 2020 in the Yvelines.

The Vienna prosecutor's office (Isère), which opened an investigation in mid-November, relinquished jurisdiction in early December in favor of the national center for the fight against online hatred.

A high school student in Villefontaine (Isère), Mila was forced to leave her school after having published in January 2020 a first video that went viral in which she was vehemently critical of Islam.

Two people were already sentenced last year to prison terms for death threats against the girl.

Others are indicted in the investigation into the death threats of January 2020 and the dissemination of his contact details.
