Russian artist facing prosecution over Griveaux sex video broadcast, says French interior minister French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner says Friday the broadcasting of a sex video involving Benjamin Griveaux, a former candidate in the race to become mayor of Paris, must "obviously be prosecuted". Griveaux, a member of president Emmanuel Macron's LREM party, withdrew from the March elections following allegations he sent a sex video of himself to a female acquaintance. The video was posted by Paris-based Russian protest artist Piotr Pavlensky, who claims he "opened the first political porn resource site" because Griveaux "could take great power and I think it could be very dangerous for the city and all the people".
