Juan Branco (Template:IPA-es, Template:IPA-fr, Template:IPA-pt), full name Juan Paulo Branco Lopez, born on August 26th in Estepona, is a French-Spanish lawyer, writer and political activist.

He's the son of the Portuguese film producer Paulo Branco and grew up in a wealthy environment. As a student, he stood out by opposing the Hadopi law and became involved in politics, first with The Greens and then during the 2012 French presidential campaign within the cultural centre of the Socialist Party. He was fired with a bang the day after the election.

A Doctor of Law since 2014, he became WikiLeaks and Julian Assange's legal advisor in France, after briefly working as a researcher at Yale University and Max Planck Institute. In 2017, he became a lawyer and defended Jean-Luc Mélenchon. That same year, he ran unsuccessfully in the French legislative elections in Seine-Saint-Denis with the support of La France insoumise. He then distanced himself from the party.

He participated in the yellow vests movement in 2018 and defended figures from the movement pro-bono, including Maxime Nicolle. During the protests, he also publishedCrépuscule, a bestseller criticising Emmanuel Macron's rise to power and his links with French billionaires who concentrate press ownership.

In june 2019, he filed at the International Criminal Court, jointly with Omer Shatz, a 250-page communication on European migration policy, accusing the leaders of the European Union of crimes against humanity.

Origins and private life

Born in Spain in 1989, in the municipality of Estepona, Andalusia, Juan Branco is the son of Portuguese film producer Paulo Branco and Spanish psychoanalyst Dolores López. He grew up in Andalusia and then in Paris, between the 5th and 6th arrondissements. He has two sisters and a brother. He was naturalized French in 2010.

He lived a "golden childhood" in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood of Paris, being acquainted with celebrities like Catherine Deneuve and Raoul Ruiz.

In 2018 and 2019, he received welfare assistance (Revenu de solidarité active) after having defended yellow vest protestors pro-bono.

Education

Ecole alsacienne

After an education spent in public schools, Branco studied at the École alsacienne, a private establishment in the 6th arrondissement. In his own words, "one can reproduce and socialize there without fear of being contaminated by bad company". He also claimed to have "great contempt for the conformism of all these heirs". He used social networks to comment on the physique of his comrades; his comrade Gabriel Attal complained of his actions to the management of the establishment.

Masters at Sciences Po, Paris 1, ENS, and Paris IV

In 2007, he joined Sciences Po Paris (IEP) where he relaunched the film club and was noticed by the director of the establishment, Richard Descoings, who entrusted him with the mission of taking photos to feed his Facebook account. Years after he was asked by his widow to deliver a eulogy on behalf of the school's students at his funeral, he said, "All the flattery was instrumental, aimed at absorbing me to make me serve the system". During his studies at the IEP, he obtained a DEUG in philosophy and law co-accredited by the University of Paris 1 in 2009, following which he was admitted to the literature and languages department of the École Normale Supérieure (ENS Ulm) the same year, and finished his bachelor's degree from the IEP the following year.

He obtained an M1 in modern literature in 2011, followed by an M2 in political philosophy and a Masters in public affairs in 2012, accredited by the University of Paris IV and the IEP of Paris respectively. The following year, he obtained an M2 in geopolitics co-accredited by the ENS Ulm and the University of Paris 1, and became an audit student of the ENS.

In 2019, L'Express reported that he mentioned on his curriculum vitae "in charge of a seminar at the École Normale Supérieure", which he was not. Branco replied to the weekly, "It changes absolutely nothing in the facts, whether it is organized by a student or not."

Doctor of law

Under the guidance of legal historian Jean-Louis Halpérin, he began a doctorate in international law and legal philosophy. His thesis, defended at the ENS Ulm eight months later, gave him the title of doctor of law. His work on the International Criminal Court was rewarded in 2015 with one of the thesis prizes from the Varenne University Institute — which became the Louis-Joinet Prize — in the “international criminal justice” category.

This doctorate obtained in eight months allowed him to join a regional training center for the profession of lawyer (CRFPA) without going through the very selective entrance exam to the law school.

Professional career

Researcher at Yale and Max Planck (2013-2015)

After having worked as an external collaborator at the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a year, he was employed in the French department of Yale University between 2013 and 2014, he became a visiting scholar at Yale Law School, where he collaborated with the Yale Journal of International Law. In 2015, he was recruited as Senior Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law, whose director is Hélène Ruiz-Fabri, one of the rapporteurs of his thesis. He earned eight thousand euros in salary there and specified on this subject: “I did not know what to do with it. It was a bit unsettling”.

Legal advisor of Wikileaks and Julian Assange (2015-2017)

At the same time, after collaborating with the organization as a volunteer for a few months, he joined the defense team of WikiLeaks and Julian Assange under the direction of Baltasar Garzón. As a legal adviser, he then represented the organization publicly, notably during the National Security Agency espionage revelations in 2015, relating to the presidents of the French Republic as well as to its large companies. He participated in diplomatic negotiations to obtain the right of asylum for Assange, which the Élysée eventually refused. Described by Le Supplément as "the man in the shadows" of Assange, responsible in particular for procedures with the United Nations and relations with certain States, he described on numerous occasions the risks inherent in working with WikiLeaks, particularly in contact with intelligence agencies, and defined the organization as a "World Library of Power Devices".

Lawyer (since 2017)

First clients

Branco passed the bar in April 2017 and became a lawyer. He notably defended Jean-Luc Mélenchon during the so-called "OAS" affair, a far-right terrorist group planning attacks on politicians and mosques ; as well as his father against Terry Gilliam and the Cannes Festival in The Man Who Killed Don Quixote case, where he prevailed.

MINUSCA legal expert

In May 2018, he was recruited by the UN in the Central African Republic as an independent expert, and was responsible with two other people for developing the prosecution strategy of the prosecutor of the Central African Special Criminal Court. Although he was bound by a confidentiality clause, he accused on May 25th, publicly on Twitter, the forces of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) of having committed a massacre in Bangui. Less than a week later, he was expelled from the country and claimed that this was the result of the institution's "culture of impunity".

Yellow vest protestors

During the Yellow Vests movement, he became the pro-bono lawyer for protest figures, such as Maxime Nicolle, Christophe Dettinger and Stéphane Espic.

Report accusing EU of crimes against humanity

In June 2019, he filed at the International Criminal Court, jointly with Omer Shatz, a 250-page communication on European migration policy, accusing the leaders of the European Union of crimes against humanity over the deaths of thousands of migrants who have perished in the Mediterranean Sea while trying to flee Libya between 2014 and 2019. The report also claimed that the EU "orchestrated the interception and detention of 40,000 people" seeking to flee the country between 2016 and 2019. The document was not based on an "investigation or new evidence" but on the analysis of five years of statements, decisions and European reports. The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted by indicating that “this accusation has no legal basis”.

Marvel Fitness and Mila affair

In 2020, he became the lawyer for the appeal of Marvel Fitness, a Youtuber who was accused of harassing several fitness Youtubers, after he had been convicted in the first instance and remanded in custody, as well as one of the defendants in the Mila affair. Marvel Fitness was released and sentenced on appeal to eighteen months in prison, two of which were suspended. Branco described the trial as "a playground conflict that should not have been litigated".

La Liga

In 2022, he became La Liga's lawyer in France, after the organisation filed a complaint at UEFA against PSG and Manchester City for non-compliance with financial fair play rules.

Damien Tarel

He also represented on appeal Damien Tarel, condemned for having slapped Emmanuel Macron, defending "a purgatory gesture which relieved many French people".

Political activity

The Greens and Jeune République

During his studies at Sciences Po, he became involved in school reform projects with the director Richard Descoings. Reputed close to Dominique de Villepin, he joined the Young Greens, leading the Île-de-France section and mobilising in particular against European migration policy and the Return directive.

France Info states : “After appearing on a Green list in the 2008 Paris municipal elections, he created the Jeune République think tank at the end of his second year, identified as close to Dominique de Villepin. "On the ideas, there was always a certain coherence, however, I was searching the way to defend them", he explains. "

Fight against Hadopi law

In 2009, together with La Quadrature du Net, he fought against the Hadopi law, a French bill enforcing copyright protection on the Internet, by creating the platform Création, Public, Internet and by writing an open letter against the project in April 2009, which was signed by personalities from the film industry, including his father, Catherine Deneuve, Chantal Akerman and Christophe Honoré. He became acquainted with Julian Assange during the fight against Hadopi.

His book Responses to Hadopi, published in 2011, proposed the development of a new legal and financial system for the film industry.

Socialist Party

During the 2012 presidential election campaign, he became involved in the Socialist Party and worked several months in the cultural centre of François Hollande's campaign. As a member of the "Culture, Audiovisual and Media" pole - led by future French Minister of Culture and Communication Aurélie Filippetti - , and presented by Les Inrocks as her chief of staff, Branco defended a reform of the French cultural exception, including the repeal of the Hadopi law and the decriminalisation of non-commercial peer-to-peer cultural exchanges.

However, he was dismissed the day after the presidential election, in favor of personnalities from the cultural industries who were more favorable to Hadopi like Pierre Lescure or David Kaessler. According to Juan Branco, this was a result of a lobbying campaign from some of the cultural industries against his reform. Mediapart's investigation confirmed an "accumulation of interests", in particular, Pierre Lescure's name had been suggested to François Hollande by France's Guild of Authors, Directors and Producers. Aurélie Filippetti, on the other hand, claimed that it was her refusal to accept Juan Branco's request to become her chief of staff that led to his departure.

Indignados movement and Partido X

He was then involved in the Spanish Indignados movement. During this period, he was edited by Alain Badiou, Michel Surya and Barbara Cassin, and intervened alongside Noam Chomsky, Jean-Luc Godard and Baltasar Garzón on issues of copyright, mass violence and surveillance in the digital era.

He later joined the campaign team of Partido X, arising from the Indignados movement, during the 2014 European elections in Spain.

La France Insoumise and opposition to Emmanuel Macron

A fierce critic of Emmanuel Macron long before his election, he invited the journalist Marc Endeweld to investigate him in 2013, claiming that the conditions of his accession to power would determine the exercise of his power. From 2016, he described the possible election of the En Marche candidate as a precursor to the election of Marine Le Pen, and defended the blank ballot between the two rounds of the 2017 French presidential election.

Branco then ran in the 2017 French legislative elections in Seine-Saint-Denis's 12th constituency under the label of La France insoumise, whose leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon was convinced by his support for Julian Assange. Branco came fourth and was eliminated in the first round, with 13.9% of the votes cast and 5.5% of those registered. Ahead of him were Jordan Bardella (FN, 15.1%), Ludovic Toro (UDI, 19.7%) and Stéphane Testé (LREM, 33.8%), who was elected in the second round.

With regard to the French President of the Republic, he announced in July 2017, in an interview with Aude Lancelin and in a first passage for Thinkerview, an "authoritarian temptation" arising from the conditions of Emmanuel Macron's accession to power, anticipating a major political rupture as well as an increase in political violence in the country.

Crépuscule

In December 2018, he published Crépuscule on his blog hosted by Le Monde, a long document which criticized the rise of Emmanuel Macron, a vitriolic attack on a section of the Parisian elite and a call for popular revolt. He described Macron's movement as "a new form of fascism". He already reported a major democratic aporia in Contre Macron, a first philosophical text published online in July 2017 and published by Divergences in January 2019.

Shortly after the publication of his text, he was reported to the public prosecutor's office by the French deputy Aurore Bergé for "arming people's minds to legitimise violence in the country". He denied any fault and claimed responsibility for his writings, and was defended by WikiLeaks, by Denis Robert, who introduced the written version of his text, or even by Pamela Anderson.

After being downloaded around 100,000 times, Crépuscule was published by Au diable vauvert in March 2019 and sold 150,000 copies. Abroad, it has been covered by the media, particularly in Spain, Belgium and Switzerland, but not in France, despite having been on several literary bestseller lists. Belgian newspaper La Libre Belgique wondered : "Who is Juan Branco, the Wikileaks legal adviser who has alienated the French press?" It wasn't until the end of April 2019 that some French media reviewed the book, mostly negatively.

Yellow Vests movement

He supported the yellow vests movement from the start and called for the dismissal of Emmanuel Macron. He became the pro-bono lawyer for protest figures, such as Maxime Nicolle, Christophe Dettinger and Stéphane Espic. On January 5th 2019, he was present on the scene when a forklift forced the entry of the government spokesman's office, exercised by Benjamin Griveaux. In February 2019, in an interview with L'Express, he said of Macron's movement : "They are not corrupt, they are corruption".

During the 2019 European elections, Branco called for abstention, which earned him the disapproval of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

Media activity

Between 2008 and 2019, Branco has written columns for Le Monde Diplomatique, L'Humanité, Libération,, Esprit, and Les Introckuptibles for which he was also reporter during the Central African Republic Civil War.

He then developed a critique of media concentration, notably in his book Crépuscule.

In May 2023, he announced the publication of his forthcoming book Hanouna, after the French radio and television presenter Cyril Hanouna. Hanouna will be published on June 1st, but the book, dedicated to the star presenter of TPMP, is already a bestseller in online bookstores.

Other activities

False claims

Branco claimed to have been chief of staff of the French Minister of Culture and Communications Aurélie Filippetti in 2012, but Filippetti denied it. She later stated that he "demanded to be hired as her chief of staff at age 22", that he "completely lost it when he was refused the position", and told her that he recorded their conversations. She described him as "dangerous, intelligent and skillful" and as "megalomaniacal, a compulsive liar and very, very manipulative".

Branco has previously claimed that he worked as a "special assistant" to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in 2010. Asked for a clarification by the French journal GQ France, the Court responded that Branco "claims to have been the "assistant" of the Prosecutor (..) while in reality he was an intern (...) and then worked at the OTP Public Information Unit".

Proposal to defend Salah Abdeslam

In 2016 he solicited Salah Abdeslam, the only surviving member of the group directly involved in the attacks in Paris on 13 November 2015 (in which 130 people were killed and 683 others were injured), proposing in a letter to help in his legal defense and claiming to be representing Julian Assange. As he was not admitted to the bar and therefore not legally permitted to practice law at the time, one of the French lawyers representing Abdeslam characterized Brancos actions as attempted fraud.

Griveaux affair

In February 2020 it was reported that he was representing the Russian activist Petr Pavlensky, both before and after the latter leaked sexually explicit videos depicting Benjamin Griveaux, then a candidate in the mayoral elections for Paris. Multiple sources claim that Branco was involved in the leak, a criminal offense under French law. This was denied by Branco.

Pavlensky was arrested on 14 February 2020 for stabbing two people during a New Year's Eve party organized by Branco and his girlfriend in a Paris flat owned by the latters' parents.

After Branco was hired by Pavlensky as his defense attorney, the chairman of the French Bar Association opened an inquiry into the appropriateness of the defense in light of Branco's involvement in the affair. No conflict of interest was found, but Branco was advised to step down as Pavlensky's defense attorney nonetheless due to a "lack of distance". Branco originally followed the advice but later reverted his decision and joined the defense of Pavlensky once more. Branco went on to request a psychological evaluation of Griveaux, the victim of the alleged crime, whose defense called the request "grotesque and hateful". The request was denied by the examining magistrate as it was deemed "not useful for the establishment of the truth".

In October 2020, it was reported that disciplinary proceedings were being pursued against Branco by the Paris Bar Association following his involvement in the affair.

Self-promotion on Misplaced Pages

Branco has been editing his own Misplaced Pages pages for many years, attempting to embellish his biography. He makes his edits under multiple identities, using what are known as sockpuppets. He has also edited articles of others to "settle accounts" by portraying them in a negative light.

He once wrote a threatening letter to the employer of another Misplaced Pages editor, pretending to be a "Misplaced Pages administrator" named "Addas Karadas" and threatening legal action.

Ongoing justice investigation for rape

In April 2021, a 20-year-old woman accused Branco of abusing her. She told the police she had felt threatened and coerced by Branco into a sexual relationship while she was under the influence of a drug they had taken together. Branco claimed the relation was consensual. He has been put under official criminal investigation on the count of rape in November 2021.
