الإدعاء الفرنسي يحقق في تهديدات لمخرج حفل افتتاح الأولمبياد بالقتل

Jolie filed a complaint after receiving threats and online attacks over what appeared to be a parody of Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper."


The scene has angered the Catholic Church, far-right politicians in France and right-wing conservatives in the United States.


The organizers of the Paris 2024 Olympics later apologized, saying there was no intention to show disrespect to any religious group.
