Marseille: trial of 'L'Insoumis' Sébastien Delogu postponed to October 21

The trial of Sébastien Delogu, a National Assembly member representing the Bouches-du-Rhône department, has been rescheduled to October 21. The proceedings were initially set to take place this Tuesday, but the court granted Delogu's request for a postponement.

Delogu is accused of receiving stolen documents and disclosing private information. The documents allegedly belonged to Isidore Aragones, a former lawyer and local Crif president, and were obtained during a social conflict related to waste collection in Marseille in September 2024. Delogu is suspected of sharing personal details from these documents on social media.

If convicted, Delogu faces a potential five-year prison sentence and a fine of 750,000 euros. He could also face a supplementary penalty of ineligibility, barring him from holding public office. This is not Delogu's first legal issue; he was previously convicted in February 2025 for violence during a high school blockade in Marseille.

In a separate matter, Delogu is also scheduled to appear in court in July as a victim. He claims to have been harassed, insulted, and threatened on Instagram by a Marseillaise individual, who will face trial through a prior guilt acknowledgment procedure.
