Stéphane Plaza draws the heavy artillery for his defense in court: his stratagem revealed

The appointment is set: Stéphane Plaza will have to appear this Thursday, January 9, 2025 at the Paris Judicial Court to respond to questions serious accusations of domestic violence.

The host and real estate agent, star of French television, is in fact being pursued by several of his former companions. They accuse him in particular of psychological and physical violence.

The affair, revealed a few months ago, caused a shock wave in the media and among the general public. The complainants actually describe toxic behavior, consisting of manipulation and intimidation, to which physical violence is added in certain cases.

Stéphane Plaza ready to do anything to prove his innocence

Stéphane Plaza, for his part, firmly denies the facts with which he is accused. According to information on the site jeanmarcmorandini.comhe would also have the project of “retaliate“. “His lawyers have in fact asked several witnesses to appear who will deny the words of his accusers which, according to Stéphane Plaza’s defenders, are purely and simply slander.“, report our colleagues who also specify that”four or five people should take the stand between 9:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. today to defend the star host of M6.”

Still according to the media, Karine Le Marchand’s friend, very affected by this affair, says he is combative and determined to prove his innocence.

Ten years in prison and 150,000 euros fine

The trial should have initially been held last August, but Stéphane Plaza did not appear at the hearing. According to his defense, his absence was due to “psychological fragilities“. A psychiatric assessment, ordered by the court, has since concluded that he is fit to stand trial.

Despite the pressure, Stéphane Plaza assures that he wants to be present and face the accusations. His lawyers also stressed that their client had always intended to defend himself in court. This trial therefore represents for him the opportunity to exonerate himself once and for all.

The expected verdict will mark an important step, not only for the complainants and Stéphane Plaza, but also for the societal debate around violence against women.

Remember that the flagship presenter of the sixth channel risks up to ten years in prison and a fine of 150,000 euros.
