CYRIL HANOUNA'S COMMENTS ON THE MURDER

DE LOLA DISPLEAS ARCOM

After Cyril Hanouna's remarks on the death of Lola, the C8 channel was given formal notice by the audiovisual supervisory authority.

It all started on October 18 on the set of the TPMP show. Cyril Hanouna spoke about the Lola case, this 12-year-old teenager brutally killed and found in a plastic trunk in the courtyard of her parents' home.

“If we have all the evidence, it's direct life. I am sorry. There is no alteration or non-discernment, ”said Cyril Hanouna on October 18 on the TPMP set. “This is the kind of case where, crazy or not crazy, she has to be in jail. It should not be treated, ”continued the star host.

Arcom notably criticizes the host for having repeatedly called for speedy trials and automatic life sentences in such cases.

Arcom, the audiovisual supervisory authority, announced Friday, November 18 the formal notice of the editor of the C8 channel following several sequences of the program "Touche pas à mon poste", hosted by Cyril Hanouna, concerning the murder of Lola, a 12-year-old girl killed on October 14 in Paris. The main suspect is a 24-year-old Algerian who was under an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF).

"The moderator, while the judicial investigation relating to this case was open, repeatedly made remarks relating both to the conditions in which the trial of the person charged was to be held and to its outcome, in particular with regard to the pain to inflict on him, than on his psychological profile . In particular, he has repeatedly called for speedy trials and automatic life sentences in such cases,” the organization wrote in a statement.

“The Autorité considers that these sequences, by their repetitive nature, reflect a breach by the publisher of the obligation to deal with moderation in an ongoing legal case, recorded in its deliberation of April 18, 2018 relating to honesty and the independence of the information and the programs that contribute to it. Arcom also notes that the host was able to express his opinion at length without a quick and effective contradiction being opposed to him, disregarding the obligation to respect the expression of the different points of view on the air on a subject lending controversial," adds Arcom.

Arcom has therefore put the publisher of the C8 channel on notice.

The circumstances of her death and the profile of the suspect, of Algerian nationality and under an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF), had generated strong criticism on the right and on the far right. Cyril Hanouna: “This is the kind of case where, crazy or not crazy, she must be in prison. She doesn't need to be treated. "Not aware of her actions?" It is a law that must also be revised. (…) Hearing this speech in France, I can't take it anymore, it's unbearable, and the laws must change, ”he concluded.

Asked about the host's position, the Minister of Justice, Eric Dupond-Moretti, had described it as "negation of the rule of law". "The rule of law protects us (...) and sweeping it away like that to arouse low instincts, to gain audience, ratings, it's something that personally, I cannot accept”, he declared in the program “C à vous” on France 5.

Little Lola, the rule of law did not protect her !!!

You do not have to give your opinion on me”, replied on TPMP Cyril Hanouna, repeating himself in favor of “direct life".
