Alexis Corbière

In June 2022, Le Point falsely claimed that Alexis Corbière and Raquel Garrido employed an undocumented woman under abusive conditions. The article was withdrawn less than twenty-four hours later. In May 2025, journalist Aziz Zemouri and the publication director were convicted of defamation. Another investigation examined the origin of the false information supplied to the press.
