The Russian artist who unveiled the sexual videos of Benjamin Griveaux disputes procedural points arising from his arrest


The lawyers of the Russian artist Piotr Pavlenski and his companion Alexandra de Taddeo asked this Tuesday before the Paris Court of Appeal the nullity of investigative acts in the Griveaux case.

My Yassine Bouzrou and Noémie Saidi-Cottier believe that their arrest on February 15, 2020, was not regular and therefore request the nullity of a number of investigative acts resulting from it.

The public prosecutor's office of the Paris Court of Appeal requested the rejection of these nullity requests, and the decision was put under advisement on February 23.

Me Bouzrou had already requested the cancellation of his client's custody.

The Russian political refugee Piotr Pavlenski and his companion were arrested almost a year ago in the west of Paris, in front of the lens of a photographer from the Bestimage agency, directed by Michèle Marchand, a relative of many personalities and the Macron couple.

The publication by Paris Match of the photos of the arrest led the Paris prosecutor's office to open a preliminary investigation on February 28, to understand who could have alerted the photographer of the imminent arrest.

Two police officers were indicted on September 10 for "violation of professional secrecy" and one of the two, suspected of having falsified a report, also for "forgery in public writing".

Alexandra de Taddeo lodged a complaint against “Mimi” Marchand last summer.

Piotr Pavlenski explained himself ten days ago before an investigating judge in the case that had triggered his arrest: a brawl on New Years Eve at his friend Juan Branco, who is no longer his lawyer.

But it had intervened the day when Benjamin Griveaux lodged a complaint for the dissemination of videos of a sexual nature that he had sent to Alexandre de Taddeo when they had a relationship.

For Me Saidi-Cottier, her client was arrested "artificially" in the case of violence during New Year's Eve while the objective of the investigators was to "keep" her at the police station until "Mr. Griveaux finalizes his complaint »Targeting her with Mr. Pavlenski, thus allowing the opening of an investigation by the prosecution and his placement in custody for these facts.

"We know that the whole procedure will not be canceled, but there are police reports which are false," she insisted.
