In 1999, Jean-Pierre Chevènement, then French minister of the Interior, spoke of him on French TV channel TF1 as “the leader of the ARB”. The prosecutor used this accusation against him during his trial in June 2005.

Following an article published in Breton daily newspaper “Le Télégramme”, Denez Riou lodged a complaint for violation of judicial secrecy”, which was eventually dismissed in 2001 for lack of sufficient charges.

Nevertheless, on 22 August, 2002, he had “Le Télégramme” sentenced for breach of presumption of innocence, following the publication of an article in this paper on 15 July, 2002. His family also had this paper sentenced for breach of the right to privacy.
