French judge who issued Netanyahu warrant debanked

A French judge has alleged he has been effectively cut off from the financial system after issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the International Criminal Court.

Nicolas Gouyou said major payment providers Visa and Mastercard had blocked his cards, leaving him unable to carry out everyday transactions. He described the situation as deeply concerning, stating that despite his position as a judge, he was being treated “like a criminal.”

Gouyou also claimed the measures were part of a broader pattern of pressure, alleging that members of the legal and political community were facing intimidation. According to him, a colleague indicated his name would remain on a blacklist until the end of US President Donald Trump’s term.



He further stated that efforts by the French president to intervene had so far failed to produce any response from US authorities, raising questions about the extent of international pressure surrounding the case.

    This is what happens when you challenge the illegal PTB and expose them for what they are: that they’re Global Criminals!
    The Banks are Zionist-owned & Israeli/Mossad-controlled!

    NZ Loyal will outlaw de-banking and change the laws surrounding ‘suspicious banking activities’ that have harmed innocent families outright!
    Scott Ritter was also de-banked. Hence, Banking has become totally weaponised!

    Former US intelligence officer claims he was de-banked without explanation

    Scott Ritter, a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, RT contributor and critic of American foreign policy, has said he has been “de-banked” and that US federal authorities are likely behind his bank’s decision.

    Ritter served as a UN weapons inspector in Iraq in the 1990s. He opposed the 2003 US invasion, arguing that Saddam Hussein’s government did not possess weapons of mass destruction, contrary to Washington’s now-debunked claims. He later became an independent journalist and political commentator and has cooperated with international media, including RT.

    On Thursday, Ritter wrote on his website that “today my banking institution of 26 years, Citizens Bank, declared that they were ending their banking relationship with me.”

    “My accounts were zeroed out without explanation,” he added.

    Ritter said the move may have been a unilateral de-risking decision by Citizens Bank, but that it “does not preclude federal involvement.”

    He noted that the “Northern District of New York empaneled a Grand Jury targeting me back in August 2024,” on suspicion of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act. He believes federal authorities had obtained all his banking information through Grand Jury subpoenas.

    “What I am beginning to suspect is that someone in the FBI, fully armed with the totality of my banking transactions… “tipped off” Citizen’s Bank about “suspicious activity” that resulted in Citizen’s Bank issuing a SAR [Suspicious Activity Report],” Ritter wrote.

    Ritter said donations he received and subsequent cash withdrawals before his three trips to Russia in 2025 may have triggered the move. He added that he had carried $10,000 in cash each trip because Russia is “disconnected from the Western digital economy.”

    According to Ritter, the “purpose of “de-banking” is to harass a targeted individual,” even in the absence of evidence pointing to any criminal activity.

    In June 2024, Ritter’s passport was seized by the US government when he attempted to board a flight to attend the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

    Several months later, FBI agents searched Ritter’s home, which he described as an “act of intimidation” for his journalistic work. Ritter said the agents accused him of working “on behalf of the Russian government,” an allegation he has denied.
