LFI deputy Sébastien Delogu says he has repaid overdue child support
Sébastien Delogu announced he has fully repaid the child support he stopped paying in April 2025.
Mediapart reported that Sébastien Delogu, a member of La France Insoumise, had failed to pay the alimony for his two children since April 2025, leading to a complaint filed with the parquet de Marseille for family abandonment and child removal. In response, Delogu released a press statement saying he has taken steps to regularize the matter and has now repaid the full sum, apologizing for the impact on his children. He framed the episode as a painful episode fueled by inaccurate reports and financial strain caused by salary garnishments.
The deputy also mentioned a conflict with his ex-partner over visitation, which he said contributed to the delay. Separately, he was placed in police custody at the end of August following an altercation with officers during a flagrant investigation for insulting a public authority, with both sides filing complaints against each other.
