Man pays for women fined over burkinis in France
French businessman Rachid Nekkaz has paid the fines for three women wearing burkinis, after numerous towns in France banned the full-body swimwear. Nicknamed 'Zorro of the niqab', he set up a €1 million fund to pay for fines when France was planning to ban the face veil in 2010. Nekkaz said he has paid €245,000 in legal fees and fines.
