A photo of groceries strewn across a supermarket aisle that has been online since at least 2016 is being falsely claimed to show a Netto store in Paris in 2023. The posts were shared in the wake of widespread rioting across France, triggered by the police shooting of Nahel, a teenager of African descent (here). It can be traced to a February 2016 news report from Roodepoort, South Africa (here). The article says the image is from a Somalian supermarket that was ransacked by “community members of Davidsonville.” The story does not share further details about the store. Netto France and the Roodepoort Record blog did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
