French perfume 'nose' Guerlain in new racism charge
French police said Friday they were probing accusations that famed parfumier Jean-Paul Guerlain, who is awaiting a verdict on racism charges, made an anti-immigrant rant against Eurostar workers.
Three employees of the high-speed rail firm that links Paris and London made a complaint to police accusing Guerlain of making remarks of a racist nature as they helped the wheelchair-bound pensioner board a train.
Guerlain missed the train because he arrived late at Paris Gare du Nord station and then launched into a tirade against the three, two of whom were black and the third of Asian origin, France Info radio said.
"France is a shit country, this (Eurostar) is a shit company and what's more the only people who serve us are immigrants," he said, according to the radio station.
