A Nanterre investigating judge placed French author Michel Houellebecq under formal investigation on 10 November for alleged complicity in inciting discrimination, hatred or violence based on origin, ethnicity, nationality, race or religion. The case concerns remarks about Muslims in a 2022 interview, including a prediction of attacks on mosques and Muslim gathering places and support for the far-right “great replacement” claim. French media reported that the complaints were brought by the Union of Mosques of France and anti-racism organization MRAP; MRAP welcomed the decision. Houellebecq’s lawyers contest the allegation, saying his remarks did not incite violence and fall within freedom of expression. The development is a judicial charge, not a conviction.
