The athlete’s lawyer said Khelif had begun «a new fight: that of justice, dignity and honor.»
France has launched a cyberbullying investigation following a complaint by Algerian Olympic boxing champion , prosecutors told CBS News on Wednesday, after the athlete endured backlash over misconceptions about her gender.
Khelif’s lawyer, Nabil Boudi, announced on social media last week that the boxing champion had filed a complaint for online harassment, calling it «a new fight: that of justice, dignity and honor.»
«The criminal investigation will determine who initiated this misogynistic, racist and sexist campaign, but will also have to focus on those who fueled this digital lynching», Boudi said on social media.
