Media reports say French prosecutors have started a probe into death threats made against the organizers of the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
The report says Artistic Director Thomas Jolly, Ceremonies Director Thierry Reboul and Alexandre Billard of Events Agency Ubi Bene, filed a complaint for death threats.
Jolly has complained of death threats and cyberbullying.
President of France, Emmanuel Macron, said he was “outraged” by the cyberbullying directed at Jolly.
He added “nothing justifies threatening an artist”.
President Macron said “The French were very proud of this ceremony,” adding France showed appropriate boldness with artistic freedom.”
