Sébastien Delogu

Delogu filed several complaints following threats received by telephone and on social media. Prosecutors opened an investigation. In July 2026, a former soldier was sentenced to one year's imprisonment, including six months to be served, for promising on Instagram to give him 'the beating of his life'.

Following an industrial dispute at Laser Propreté, Delogu and Manuel Bompard forwarded documents to prosecutors under Article 40, believing that they revealed irregularities. An investigation opened in October 2024 led to searches of his home and parliamentary office in May 2025; Delogu was subsequently referred for trial before the criminal court, notably for handling stolen documents, disclosing personal information and breaching the confidentiality of correspondence.

Marseille general practitioner Saïd Ouichou, Delogu's doctor and potential political rival, filed an incident report (main courante) after a text message from Delogu notably telling him to 'stay in [his] place', which was perceived as threatening. In 2026, Delogu in turn reported Ouichou to prosecutors and the Medical Council over alleged behaviour towards a female patient; the doctor responded with complaints of defamation and malicious false reporting.

At a rally, Delogu claimed that kilograms of cocaine had been 'ordered by the state' and that cash had allegedly been hidden in police stations. The prefect condemned the remarks as false. In the Assembly, Delogu reformulated his statements as questions about 387 kg, a controlled delivery and cash held on police premises.

Protagonist not prosecuted

Messages referring to 'parcels' between Delogu and a man implicated in a drug trafficking case prompted public insinuations about links with drug trafficking. Delogu attended a voluntary interview with gendarmes and provided his phone and supporting documentation.

During a municipal debate, Delogu said he had previously met Jeune Garde activists and declared that, in his view, 'they are not violent people' and he had never seen them behaving violently. The exchange prompted outrage following the death of far-right activist Quentin Deranque, while suspects were described as being close to the anti-fascist movement.
