Guillaume Herblot stated that Bagui Traoré had been the subject of 20 convictions, including five for extortion. He indicated that the most recent conviction was pronounced on October 28, 2026, in Pontoise: two years in prison for an attempted extortion targeting a resident of Beaumont-sur-Oise who had just won €120,000 in bets. According to Herblot, Bagui Traoré was banned from staying in Val-d’Oise and was already incarcerated before this conviction, particularly for acts of extortion aimed at women under guardianship, threats against a witness of his trial, and violence against law enforcement. Herblot also criticized the support provided since 2016 by La France insoumise and part of the left to Assa Traoré, especially during meetings and through T-shirts demanding justice for Adama. He recalled that the dismissal in the case of Adama's death had, according to him, been confirmed on appeal and then in cassation. He stated that the convictions targeting family members made it difficult to present them as a national icon of innocence and wrote that this narrative had its limits. #JusticePourAdama #Traoré #Extorsion (translated)
