Former X Factor star Chico pleads not guilty to drink-driving during court appearance
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Slimani, of north London, is accused of driving a Vauxhall Astra with 40 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, Willesden Magistrates' Court heard on Tuesday. The legal limit of alcohol for driving in England is 35 microgrammes per 100 millilitres. The defendant, who wore a black fur coat and cowboy hat to court, had consumed cough medicine before he gave the reading, which can impact the accuracy, Sarah King, defending, said."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech. The outlet investigates political financing and produces documentaries that spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The publication states that quality journalism should remain accessible without paywalls and be supported by those who can afford it. Former X Factor contestant Yousseph Slimani, known as Chico, is accused of drink-driving after a breath test recorded 40 microgrammes per 100 millilitres, above the 35 microgramme legal limit. Slimani pleaded not guilty, his defender noted cough medicine could affect the reading, and bail was granted until an April 9 trial.
