In 2022, a French book demonstrated that Frédéric Lopez had lied on public television France2 in a documentary about a murder (Mille et une vies, Rachel Jouvet, November 24, 2016). Frédéric Lopez claimed that the murderer of Rachel Jouvet's father's first name was Mathieu, when his real name was Abdourahmani. Frédéric Lopez made people believe that the murderer was a French Christian, when in fact he was a Muslim foreigner furious that his wife was eating pork. In his book, Jean-Pierre Steinhofer uses the trial transcript to demonstrate the lie.
