A 39 -year -old man who would have antecedents in the United Kingdom for “sexual crimes against minors” was accused of fraud, abuse of trust, money laundering and ideological falsehood
The authorities of the decreed custody of a Briton for staging a marriage to a under 9 years in the amusement park said the prosecutor. The event caused a great commotion because the supposed bride was a 9 -year -old Ukrainian girl and, among more than 100 hired extras, not all had been informed that the marriage was not real, according to a police source. The court still tries to clarify the circumstances of the false marriage organized on Saturday (21) in the tourist complex, which had been rented for the occasion, almost 30 kilometers to the east of Paris. The first investigations revealed that “this ‘marriage’ was actually a fictional ceremony designed to be filmed privately,” according to the prosecutor. The man played “the role of the groom after being professionally made up to show a totally different face from his own,” the prosecutor’s representative added on Sunday.
The detainee would have recruited citizens of Latvia to ensure the organization of the event and a hundred French extras, presented as wedding guests, said the prosecutor. The detained man had a search warrant in his country for not fulfilling the obligations of the British registration of authors of sexual crimes, in which he is inscribed, he adds in a statement Jean-Baptiste Bladier. Bladier explained on Sunday that the Ukrainian girl, who arrived in France two days before the event, suffered “no violence, neither physical nor sexual” and “was not forced to play the bride’s role”. The 39 -year -old man, who would have antecedents in the United Kingdom for “sexual crimes against minors”, was accused of fraud, confidence abuse, money laundering and ideological falsehood, according to the promoter of Meaux.
For the MP, Disneyland was fooled as “the organizer usurped the identity of a Latto citizen and used fake documents to obtain the park’s rental contract.” The event should take place between 5h00 and 7h00, outside the opening time to the public, “for a total cost of 130,000 euros” ($ 150,000, 824,000 reais), according to a police source. Disneyland Paris said in a statement sent on Sunday that the event was “immediately canceled” by its teams “after identifying important irregularities.”
