Caregiver on Trial in France for Allegedly Poisoning Jewish Family in Antisemitic Attack
Prosecutors allege the nanny administered harmful substances with antisemitic intent, supported by a child's testimony and internet evidence, amid rising antisemitic incidents in France.
- On Tuesday, Leila Y., a 42-year-old nanny, is due to appear at Nanterre Criminal Court after allegedly contaminating a Jewish couple's food and drinks; she worked for the family two months.
- Prosecutors say the acts were motivated by antisemitic bias, upheld by the investigating judge, while the defense contests the motive as investigators found related online posts and Leila Y. allegedly said she `should never have worked for a Jewish woman`.
- The mother detected unusual smells and tastes in household items including wine and grape juice, police found toxic substances causing digestive harm, and the couple's daughter witnessed the nanny pour soapy liquid into alcohol.
- The family says the incident has left the three children struggling emotionally, the mother living in constant anxiety with home surveillance, and hopes the defendant's expulsion will restore safety.
- The family's legal representatives say the revised charge minimizes the act amid rising antisemitic incidents in France since October 7, 2023, and the case involves a foreign national under an OQTF using a forged Belgian ID.
