Under the cold glow of the Champs-Élysées, Nawell Madani walks with a closed expression. This photo, above all, tells the story of a celebrity's solitude captured by the public eye. It is in this bright and mundane setting that an action, in just a few seconds, potentially falls under the Penal Code regarding violence against minors. The image here conveys the ambivalence between visibility and vulnerability.

Dordogne, October 4, 2025: A parcel bomb explodes in transit, two others are defused in Saint-Aulaye. The packages, addressed to Manuel Bompard, Élodie Poux, and Estelle Denis, did not cause any injuries. The Périgueux prosecutor's office and the Bordeaux Research Section are conducting the investigation, and the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office has not taken up the case. The devices were of low power and sent from La Roche-Chalais; the motive remains to be determined.

The BPM, under the authority of the Paris prosecutor's office, is questioning him in the investigation opened in February 2024 for rape and sexual assault. Testimonies mention hypnosis sessions and underage victims; he denies any wrongdoing. Between judicial truth and listening to the complainants, the presumption of innocence remains.
