The station's historic presenter, who was fired in the spring, is accused by his former employer of broadcasting turnkey propaganda sequences provided by an intermediary, particularly on behalf of several foreign countries, including Morocco and Bahrain.
He had suddenly traveled to Morocco with his family, so doubts arose about his possible return to France. But the journalist Rachid M'Barki, who was fired in the spring of 2023 by BFM TV, one of whose historical figures he was, finally returned to France. According to Libération, he was charged with “passive corruption” and “breach of trust” by judges on December 8 as part of an investigation following a complaint against the news channel Continuous News. From a judicial source, the judges rely on “passive private corruption” and “infidelity”. His lawyer did not respond to our request.
Now it is time for the former presenter of the Journal de la nuit and the program Bring in the Accused to make his defense heard. Rachid M'Barki, who had joined the channel from the beginning, was suspended in early 2023 for a series of issues that were broadcast without the consent of his management, in any case without having gone through the validation process.
