John Galliano Found Guilty
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
Former Dior creative director John Galliano has been found guilty of racist and anti-Semitic behavior.
The British designer - who was facing charges of "casting public insults based on origin, religious affiliation, race or ethnicity" by French authorities - was ordered by a Paris court yesterday to pay a total fine of 17,500 euros, but escaped prison. The maximum penalty in France for insulting someone on the basis of their origin, religious affiliation, race or ethnicity is six months in jail and a fine of 22,500 euros.
Galliano - who was not in court - was arrested in February of this year following an alteration with a couple outside a Paris cafe, in which he used racist and anti-Semitic language. A video was then released of him in a Paris bar last October, verbally abusing a woman and proclaiming his love for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
