French police probe fake Disneyland ‘marriage’ with nine-year-old

  • On 23 June, a 22-year-old British man and a 24-year-old Latvian woman appeared before a judge in Meaux, charged with organizing a staged wedding at Disneyland Paris involving a nine-year-old Ukrainian girl.
  • The event occurred after the British man hired Disneyland Paris several weeks earlier using a fake Latvian ID, pretending the ceremony was a real wedding costing about €130,000.
  • Staff noticed the girl in high heels and alerted police, leading to arrests of four people including the groom, the girl’s mother, and two Latvian nationals, with investigations showing no violence or coercion against the child.
  • Deputy prosecutor Alexandre Verney said around 100 extras were recruited for the fake event, which was filmed as a stunt social media video; the groom claimed he was paid €12,000 and only realized the bride was a child at the last moment.
  • The British man was placed in pretrial detention on multiple charges including fraud and money laundering, while Disneyland Paris expressed gratitude to staff for stopping the ceremony and filing a complaint.
