DHAKA: A French court has ordered ‘Closer’ magazine to pay Julie Gayet 15,000 euros over a breach of privacy for revealing her affair with president Francois Hollande.

The magazine published photographs of Hollande and Gayet arriving separately at an apartment in January.

The payout was far lower than the 50,000 euros the actress had sought.

The Paris court ordered the magazine to publish the ruling on the front page of its next edition, reports the BBC.
