A French court on Thursday convicted a delivery driver of discrimination against Jews after refusing to accept orders for kosher food.
Dhia Edine D., a 19-year-old Algerian man illegally in France, was sentenced by a Strasbourg court to four-and-a-half months in prison.
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said that the man will be deported back to Algeria after he completes his sentence.
“I decided to expel from the national territory the food ‘deliverer’ … who said he did not want to handle deliveries to Jewish clients,” said Darmanin.
The conviction occurred two days after a regional Jewish institution, the Israelite Consistory of the Bas-Rhin region, filed a legal complaint that alleged that two kosher restaurants had claimed that drivers working for the online food-delivery service Deliveroo refused to make deliveries on their behalf because they didn’t want to service Jews.
A court in eastern France convicted a delivery driver of anti-Semitic discrimination on Thursday for refusing to take orders for kosher food, and Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said the Algerian man would be deported after he completes his prison sentence.
