A French court has found the far-right presidential candidate Eric Zemmour guilty of racist hate speech for a tirade against unaccompanied child migrants.

Zemmour drew widespread outrage in September 2020 when he told the CNews channel that child migrants were thieves, killers, they're rapists. That's all they are. We should send them back."
