Yves Engler found guilty of harassment over mass e-mail campaign directed at detective
January 23, 2026
The left-wing activist Yves Engler was convicted of harassment and obstruction of justice by a Quebec judge on Friday for mounting an e-mail campaign directed at a Montreal police officer who was planning to charge him in another case.
Judge Karine Giguère accepted the testimony of detective Francesca Anna Crivello that she was “intimidated” by the roughly 1,500 e-mails she received on the morning of Feb. 19, 2025, from supporters of Mr. Engler, and was prevented from doing her work because the influx briefly stopped her e-mail from working.
