Since 2022, influencer Dylan Thiry, followed by 1.7 million followers on Instagram, has launched several calls for donations for his charity “For our children”.

Nearly 300,000 euros collected. This is the amount raised by Dylan Thiry, an influencer followed by 1.7 million subscribers on Instagram, for his charity “For our children”. If the objective was to finance humanitarian trips, he would be suspected of having diverted these prize pools. On Wednesday, September 25, the Paris prosecutor's office confirmed to Le Parisien that the influencer – already known for promoting dubious products including a fake remedy that would destroy cancer cells – is being prosecuted for "breach of trust" and will be tried in October 2025.

Several complaints from his subscribers

Since 2022, Dylan Thiry has made several appeals for donations and fundraising through the sale of jewelry, the organization of a boxing match but also direct transfers from his subscribers, according to the collective for aid to victims of influencers (AVI). Sums that were to be used for humanitarian actions. But the AVI collective says “to have noted a significant “discrepancy” between Dylan Thiry's modest spending in Madagascar and the substantial amount of donations”, our colleagues specify. Several donors therefore filed a complaint for “breach of trust” in January 2023, triggering the opening of an investigation by the Brigade for the Repression of Astute Delinquency (BRDA).
