| Description | Adrien Quatennens, a French MP belonging to the France Unbowed party has received a four month suspended prison sentence after being found guilty on charges relating to domestic violence.
Quatennens was given a four month suspended prison sentence for "violence without incapacity committed by a spouse" on dates between October and December 2021, as well as for sending "regular and malicious messages" to his wife between August and September 2022.
He has been ordered to pay €2,000 in damages.
An MP in Lille in the north of France and a rising figure of the far-left France Unbowed party (LFI), Quatennens admitted slapping his wife Céline in a moment of mutual aggression in September.
He acknowledged that the couple were in the throes of divorce at the time.
His wife told French news agency AFP that she had suffered "physical and psychological violence" over "several years" from her husband, evoking "his anger" and "his crises". |
