A French court earlier brought charges against Pavlensky, who was granted political asylum in France in 2017, as part of the probe into the sex tape scandal involving prominent politician Benjamin Griveaux.
Russian performance artist Petr Pavlensky was placed under judicial supervision, his lawyer Yassine Bouzrou said on Tuesday.
He also denied anyone helped him, clarifying that it was his own project that he himself created, he found this source, and it was only he who did that.
Pavlensky has also responded to claims that he is a “Kremlin agent”, saying that such an accusation was similar to claims he is a psycho or a criminal.
French prosecution launched a probe into the release of a sex video and intimate messages that French politician Benjamin Griveaux shared with a young woman on Pavlensky’s website pornopolitique.com. The leak forced Griveaux, who is also an ally of Emmanuel Macron, to withdraw from the Paris mayoral race.
Under French law, the publication of sexual materials without the owner’s consent is punishable by up to two years in prison and a large fine.
Pavlensky has claimed he also has footage of other politicians.
