Sébastien Delogu, on trial for disclosing private data, was absent from the hearing.

Sébastien Delogu, the left-wing MP for Bouches-du-Rhône, is due to appear before the Marseille criminal court this Tuesday for disclosing private information. However, the elected official will not be present at the hearing. His lawyer intends to request a postponement, citing a particularly hostile environment surrounding his client.

A tense climate cited by the defense

This legal proceeding comes at a time of tension for the Marseille parliamentarian. The charges relate to the dissemination of information pertaining to his private life, although the precise details of the case have not yet been made public. The defense argues that the current climate does not allow for a sufficiently calm and orderly trial.

Waiting for a court decision

The outcome of this request for adjournment will be known within the next few hours. If the court grants the request, the case will be postponed to a later date. Otherwise, the court may proceed in the defendant's absence, in accordance with the rules of criminal procedure.
