CYBERBULLYING: INVESTIGATION INVOLVES MUSK, TRUMP AND AUTHOR JK ROWLING.
France launched a cyberbullying probe following I a complaint by Algerian boxing champion Imane Khelif, who was at the centre of a gender controversy at the Paris Olympic Games, prosecutors said yesterday.
The controversy has rapidly become a hot-button issue outside the ring, with politicians and celebrities including Donald Trump and Elon Musk weighing in.
The investigation was opened on Tuesday into "cyberharassment" following the high-profile gender row that erupted at the Games, the Paris public prosecutor's office said.
The athlete's lawyer, Nabil Boudi, said Khelif, 25, had filed a complaint for online harassment, calling it a "fight for justice".
"The investigation will determine who was behind this misogynist, racist and sexist campaign, but will also have to concern itself with those who fed the online lynching," he said at the time.
The Central Office for Combating Crimes against Humanity and Hate Crimes has been tasked with the investigation.
