French First Lady wins bikini pic case

October 24, 2012 12:04

French First Lady Valerie Trierweiler has won damages from three magazines for publishing photographs of her in a bikini, but not before she was criticised by a judge for her lack of 'discretion' in her private life.

President Francois Hollande's partner had taken offence at photos appearing on the front covers of the magazines without her consent, showing France's first couple relaxing on a beach close to the presidential Riviera retreat of Fort de Bregancon in August.

The Paris judge ordered weekly celebrity magazines Closer and Voici to pay Trierweiler 1,500 euros for breaching her private life and image rights, as she had 'never consented' to the pictures.
