Overview
- Rima Hassan, held in Paris on Thursday, was freed that night and is set for a July 7 trial over a March 26 X post that referenced Kozo Okamoto.
- The post was flagged to prosecutors by the interior minister and by the groups OJE and LICRA, triggering a flagrant‑delict probe without a formal immunity lift.
- During a search, police reported finding CBD and suspected 3‑MMC in her belongings, and prosecutors opened a separate procedure for those substances.
- Hassan denies any illegal drugs and says only legal CBD was present, while her lawyer sought an inquiry into alleged leaks as she returned Friday to the BRDP for questioning on other complaints.
- Prosecutors say 16 prior online‑speech cases tied to her have been processed with 13 closed and six still active, and the charge now at issue can bring up to seven years in prison and a €100,000 fine.
