Designer John Galliano arrested
PARIS: British designer John Galliano has been found guilty of racist and anti-semitic behaviour by a Paris court.
On Thursday Galliano, who was facing charges of “casting public insults based on origin, religious affiliation, race or ethnicity” by French authorities, was ordered by court to pay a total fine of pounds 5,200, reports the guardian website.
The 50-year-old, who was not present in court during hearing, was arrested in February this year following an altercation with a couple outside a Paris cafe where he used racist and anti-Semitic language.
Galliano was sacked from fashion house Dior and his eponymous label John Galliano.
