While the next season of Koh-Lanta will begin on February 22 on TF1, here is the new promotion of the adventure game is already affected by a controversy.
The production of Koh Lanta will she have a difficult season? On February 22, the new season of the TF1 adventure game will be unveiled, with the hope of wiping out the previous edition, where several candidates were suspected or accused of having cheated by obtaining food. outside the camp. But this hope for renewal was without counting on information from the chained duckwhich a few days before the launch of this new season reveals that one of the candidates is indicted for manslaughter.
It is François, a 38-year-old commander who served in the departmental fire and rescue service in Héraultand who was indicted in 2016 for manslaughter. With six other of his colleagues, it is currently under investigationsuspected “for having given the troop inappropriate, sometimes contradictory orders, and provided insufficient training and obsolete equipment”. They would therefore have caused the death of a firefighter, while three others were seriously injured after a forest fire in Gabian, in the Hérault. Presumed innocent, Commander François has the “functional protection”and nothing prevented him from participating in the next season of Koh Lanta.
Was the production aware of this indictment?
However, this information is already causing controversy, especially among the victims of this accident. Luc Abratkiewicz, their lawyer, told the chained duck than “the SDIS displays its contempt for the victims” with this contribution. On the production side, we assure TV Star that no one was informed of this indictment. “The information concerning him was not public and it is covered by the secrecy of the instruction. We have followed our selection processes which are regulated by law in order to respect the privacy of competitors”clarified the production of Koh-Lanta, adding that they systematically ask “to persons applying if there are judicial convictions”. “François told us that he was not the subject of any conviction and sent us an extract from his criminal record. His indictment does not call into question these elements since he is at this stage of the procedure legally presumed innocent”underlined the production.
