Ten people have been found guilty of cyber-bullying Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, by a Paris court.
The defendants were accused of spreading false claims about her gender and sexuality, as well as making “malicious remarks” about the 24-year age gap between the couple.
The defendants were handed suspended prison sentences of up to eight months.
A conspiracy theory claiming that Brigitte Macron is a transgender woman has circulated since her husband was first elected in 2017.
