PARIS — John Galliano’s drunken anti-Semitic ravings cost him his job at Paris luxury house Christian Dior and gave him a criminal record but didn’t land him in jail, a Paris court ruled Thursday.
The court found Galliano guilty on two counts of “public insults based on origin, religious affiliation, race or ethnicity” — charges that carry a maximum sentence of six months in prison and fines of up to 20,000 euro.
But the three-magistrate panel showed leniency, sentencing the legendary designer to a 6,000-euro suspended fine, which means it goes on Galliano’s criminal record but he does not have to pay it. The court did not give Galliano prison time.
