Vincent Reynouard is a French Holocaust denier and proponent of neo-Nazism. He has made it his mission to promote Holocaust denial, disseminating Nazi and revisionist ideology for more than 30 years, despite several trials, fines, and jail sentences. He was jailed in France under the Gayssot Act, which bars Holocaust denial. His latest conviction concerns a series of antisemitic posts on Facebook and Twitter and a 2018 YouTube video. In 2021, Reynouard found refuge in the UK. Later in 2021, he was targeted in a British police operation, and has since frequently changed addresses.
In January 2022, the "Interministerial Delegate for the Fight Against Racism, Anti-Semitism and Anti-LGBT Hatred" (DILCRAH) compiled a report on Reynouard, following which the Court of Paris ruled to block his websites. However, the ruling did not prevent Reynouard from pursuing his incitement against Jews or his neo-Nazi propaganda, and he continued to widely publish such content on Internet platforms. His videos are shared on neo-Nazi websites and social media accounts, and Reynouard operates personal accounts on 12 Internet platforms, including Gab, Rumble, Odysee, Bitchute, Parler, Telegram, MeWe, Gettr, Minds, Flote, his own blog and the Russian video platform Rutube, headquartered in Moscow.
In November 2022, Reynouard was arrested in Edinburgh, after two years on the run. A French neo-Nazi website publishes updates about Reynouard situation, sharing his Gab videos and appeals to his blog readers to donate cryptocurrency to help him. From prison, Reynouard was interviewed by a French antisemitic weekly whose editor has been convicted fifteen times, in particular for incitement to hatred, contestation of crimes against humanity and racist insults. The interview took place on November 23, 2022, and Reynouard reposted it on his personal blog on December 6. In the interview, Reynouard described his activities in prison, which include presenting his revisionist views to fellow inmates—whom he said "listen carefully"—and promoting his book. Following is an overview of the interview.
