A French rapper whose debut album reached number three on the country's charts after its release last week is facing criminal prosecution for lyrics on several tracks that promote crude antisemitism and Holocaust denial.

In an announcement on Thursday, Gerald Darmanin — France's interior minister — denounced rapper Freeze Corleone for his "unspeakable antisemitism and negationism" and confirmed that his ministry would be pursuing legal action. Darmanin also called on Twitter and Facebook "not to spread this filth."
