The Bourbon des Deux-Siciles family filed a public defamation complaint in Paris against Belgian media outlet DHnet. The plaintiffs accuse the May 18 article of indirectly targeting Jordan Bardella.
On Thursday in Paris, the family filed a complaint with civil party status before the dean of investigating judges at the judicial court. The targeted article, published by DHnet and widely shared on social media, discusses bribes and an investigation into the maternal lineage of Maria Carolina de Bourbon des Deux-Siciles.
Lawyers Olivier Pardo and Benjamin Mathieu stated that the article is based on false information and calumnies. They noted that no disputes remain within the Crociani family for several years.
The article refers to the president of a French political party in pre-presidential campaign. The lawyers assert these claims aim to indirectly target Jordan Bardella, Maria Carolina's partner.
