John Galliano could face a year in jail for his anti-Semitic tirade.
Shamed fashion designer John Galliano faced a new legal headache on Monday after his former lawyer lodged lawsuits against him alleging defamation and slander.The British couturier was sacked as French fashion
house Dior's creative director in February after being caught on film subjecting cafe patrons to a drunken anti-Semitic tirade.
While criminal charges relating to the outburst are pending, and Galliano could face a year in jail and a 22,500 euro fine, in April he lodged his own suit accusing lawyer Stephane Zerbib of embezzlement.
Galliano accuses his former adviser of siphoning almost three million euros ($4.3 million dollars) from his account and that of one of his firms, according to French legal sources.
But on Monday, Zerbib counter-attacked with two suits accusing Galliano of smearing him with the allegations, again according to judicial sources.
According to a copy of the suit seen by AFP, Zerbib insists Galliano had been made fully aware of all transactions carried out on his bank accounts and had never expressed concern about any transfers of money.
