Refusal to waive his parliamentary immunity
As of August 3, 2020, the ex-wife of the deputy had indeed been the subject of a protection order, prohibiting Benoit Simian from approaching her and entering the house.

At the same time, a procedure was opened for moral harassment by a spouse.
But the National Assembly having refused, on December 9, 2020, the request of the prosecutor of Bordeaux to lift the immunity of the parliamentarian, this procedure risked getting bogged down.
It was finally after an interview under the free hearing regime, in November 2021, that Benoit Simian was sent back to the criminal court, revealed at the time Médiapart.
Interviewed several times, the deputy would have argued the need for his comings and goings to his former home, because he had installed his parliamentary office in an outbuilding at the bottom of the garden.
In any case, he always denied the facts of harassment, and even filed a complaint on his side against his wife, for violence.
