Paris: Two months after the jihadist attack in which staff at the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo were murdered, a split has emerged in the newsroom over the nearly £30 million received since the killings.
Eleven staff members have called for all employees to become equal shareholders in the magazine, setting them up for a battle with the current management. Charlie Hebdo is currently 40 per cent owned by the parents of Charb, the former director of the magazine who was killed in the January 7 attacks, 40 percent by cartoonist Riss, who is recovering in hospital and 20 per cent by joint manager Eric Portheault.
Keeping alive the strong sentiments of the massacre, French magazine Paris Match on Thursday published photos of the bodies of the two brothers, Cherif and Said Kouachi, who attacked the weekly.
