The Copernic Affair
The life of an unassuming sociology professor in Canada gets turned upside down when he is accused of carrying out a 1980 bomb attack on a synagogue in Paris. Hassan Diab says heʼs innocent — but French investigators are determined to prove otherwise.
What follows is a decades-long story about the pursuit of justice, wild reversals of fortune, and lives torn apart. On one side is a French court in dogged pursuit of justice for a devastating attack on Parisʼs Jewish community. On the other, an ordinary man who maintains his innocence.
In the first podcast investigation into this case, journalists Dana Ballout and Alex Atack present exclusive interviews, rich archival material, and extensive original reporting, taking listeners through the twists and turns of this extraordinary story, all the while trying to answer the questions:
Is Hassan Diab guilty, or is he a scapegoat? And what if one person’s justice means committing an injustice to another?
The Copernic Affair is coming January 22nd. Canadaland supporters can listen to the whole series early and ad-free beginning November 11. canadaland.com/join
