The essentials
Prosecutors seek five years of ineligibility and a suspended two-year sentence for Delogu, whose verdict is due 11 December.
Prosecutors have requested five years of immediate ineligibility and two years of suspended prison time with a 10,000 euro fine against French MP Sébastien Delogu. Delogu is being tried for receiving stolen goods and disclosing personal information.
The civil party in the case is Isidore Aragones, 79. The case concerns a folder of Aragones's documents, including printed emails, that was found to be missing. Delogu posted documents from the folder on Instagram on 24 September 2024.
At trial, Delogu exercised his right to silence and apologized. The defense requested an acquittal. The prosecution and defense positions differ on the appropriate outcome, and the court has not yet ruled.
The court's verdict is scheduled for 11 December. Delogu is also scheduled to appear in November in a separate outrage case.
