A 49-year-old man is given a suspended sentence on Wednesday over a video he shared online mocking a London blaze that consumed more than 70 lives.
Paul Bussetti, from Sundial Avenue in Croydon, south London, filmed the footage at an annual bonfire party hosted by a friend in November 2018, showing people laughing and jeering while a cardboard model of Grenfell Tower with cutouts of people on it being burned. A similar video was made by another individual, and it wasn’t clear which video Bussetti had uploaded to two private WhatsApp groups. The video subsequently went viral online and ended up on national TV, prompting public outrage.
