Yellow vests movement

Several videos taken during the demonstration of the Yellow vests movement of January 5, 2019 in Paris were showing him punching policemen on the Passerelle Léopold-Sédar-Senghor. [2] Three days after punching police at Yellow vests protest, Christophe Dettinger surrendered himself. [3] A website set up to raise funds for the boxer showed that it had received pledges of more than €114,000 [4] The fundraiser was closed after less than 20 hours after officials expressed outrage. Anti-corruption campaigner Christophe Grébert defended the fund, saying it was legal to ask for funds to pay court costs. Shutting the fundraiser, he said, was a "bad signal for democracy". [5]

On 13 February 2019, Dettinger was sentenced to 1 year of prison and 18 months' probation for assaulting two police officers during the protest on 5 January. [6]
