Bailiffs turned up at the comedian's home in central France on Monday night to demand payment of several fines, and attempted to enter by climbing over a fence, the lawyer said. "Dieudonne's partner and their security staff asked them to leave," he said. According to sources close to the investigation, one of the bailiffs says he was assaulted by Dieudonne, and targeted with rubber bullets. A search of the house later turned up a bullet-launching device, investigators said. His girlfriend Noemie Montagne was also questioned, lawyer Sanjay Mirabeau said. Dieudonne M'bala M'bala went to the police station voluntarily and was questioned for several hours, from just before midnight until dawn according to Mirabeau. The couple also filed their own complaint accusing the bailiff of breaking into their home, the lawyer said. Branded a "pedlar of hate" by the French government, Dieudonne has been at the heart of a furore over sketches widely viewed as anti-Semitic that prompted local authorities to block shows in his nationwide "The Wall" tour at the request of Interior Minister Manuel Valls. Dieudonne has also made headlines internationally after footballer Nicolas Anelka performed the comic's trademark salute, called the "quenelle", during an English Premier League match. The stiff-arm gesture has been described as a disguised Nazi salute, with anti-Semitic connotations, but the comic says it is merely an "up yours" to the establishment. Poster Comment: Dieudonne has also made headlines internationally after footballer Nicolas Anelka performed the comic's trademark salute, called the "quenelle", during an English Premier League match. The Quenelle is just an Up Yours to the Establishment. This could be construe as anti-Semitic because it seems the Jewish own the governments of Europe as they do America. He is anti-Israeli but Israel a genocidal colonial power. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
