The Backbench

Introducing: The Copernic Affair


Listen Later

The Copernic Affair is available now, wherever you get your podcasts.


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.


Journalists Dana Ballout and Alex Atack take listeners through the twists and turns of this extraordinary story, all the while asking…


Is Hassan Diab guilty, or is he a scapegoat? And what if one person’s justice means committing an injustice to another?


You can become a Canadaland supporter to listen to the whole series early and ad-free.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
