- Śledczy z prokuratury Meaux orzekli, że wydarzenie nie było prawdziwym ślubem. – Okazało się, że impreza została zainscenizowana, a wszyscy goście byli aktorami – powiedział zastępca prokuratora lokalnego w rozmowie z agencją AFP. Dodał, że na terenie parku pojawiło się prawie stu statystów, którzy mieli uczestniczyć w scenie weselej. Tyle że park wynajęły osoby prywatne i twierdziły, że ślub będzie prawdziwy. W rzeczywistości Disneyland miał być dla nich planem filmowym. Cztery osoby zostały aresztowane i przewiezione do policyjnego aresztu. Przesłuchano dwie z nich – 22-letniego Brytyjczyka i 24-letnią Łotyszkę. Sprawa jest prowadzona w kierunku oszustwa i prania brudnych pieniędzy. Z ustaleń policjantów wynika, że „panna młoda” nie doświadczyła żadnej „przemocy ani przymusu”. To Ukrainka. Jej matka, w wieku 41 lat, została zwolniona z przesłuchania, podobnie jak 55-letni Łotysz.
- Investigators from the Meaux public prosecutor's office ruled that the event was not a real wedding. ‘It turned out that the event was staged and all the guests were actors,’ the deputy local prosecutor told AFP. He added that nearly a hundred extras had arrived at the park to participate in the wedding scene. However, the park had been rented by private individuals who claimed that the wedding would be real. In fact, Disneyland was to be a film set for them. Four people were arrested and taken to the police station. Two of them, a 22-year-old British man and a 24-year-old Latvian woman, were questioned. The case is being investigated as fraud and money laundering. According to the police, the ‘bride’ did not experience any ‘violence or coercion.’ She is Ukrainian. Her 41-year-old mother was released from questioning, as was the 55-year-old Latvian man.
