Kemi Seba, both French and Beninese, announced to his 1.3 million Facebook subscribers that he had been notified that proceedings had been initiated against him. The approach was confirmed to Le Figaro by a source close to the matter.
Kemi Seba is close to Russian activists who spread anti-France ideology in Africa. He has never hidden his relations with the Wagner group and with its former leader, Evgeni Prigozhin. The procedure was initiated on the basis of article 23-7 of the Civil Code.
