He denied the Sandy Hook massacre: conspiracy theorist Jones will have to pay nearly 1 billion to families

Alex Jones will have to pay $ 965 million to the families of the victims for publicly denying the Sandy Hook massacre, the primary school in Connectitut where on December 14, 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza massacred 26 people: 20 were children aged 6-7.

This was decided by a state jury, as reported by CNN. 

For years, the far-right conspiratorialist, founder of the InfoWar website, called the massacre a "hoax" by the government and the families of the victims of the "actors".

The figure will be split between 15 plaintiffs, relatives of Sandy Hook victims and William Aldenberg, an FBI agent who intervened on the spot and was the target of Jones's theories.
