The trial related to cyberbullying claims made by Olympic boxer Imane Khelif against far-right influencer Papacito has been postponed by the Paris correctional court to January 28, 2027. This decision was made on February 26, 2026, during a brief court session that lasted only about ten minutes. Notably, the court approved the postponement, marking an extended wait before the legal proceedings can advance based on Khelif's claims.

In attendance during the session was Papacito, whose real name is Ugo Gil Jimenez, alongside his attorney, but the Olympic champion did not appear in court. The brief session seemed to revolve around formalities, as her absence meant the proceedings could not progress beyond confirming the new trial date. Following the announcement, Papacito expressed dissatisfaction regarding his required presence at the session, but his remarks were minimal.

The implications of this postponement mean that tensions related to Khelif's allegations and the wider issues of cyberbullying and harassment faced by public figures will continue to linger. As Khelif prepares for the upcoming 2027 trial, the case highlights not only the personal challenges faced by her but also raises critical conversations around accountability and the protection of individuals against online harassment, particularly in sports and public life.
