A judge in Spain has ordered Warner Bros to pay €25,000 in damages to a Moroccan businessman after his photograph appeared alongside images of the Gambino crime family in a 2016 thriller that starred Ben Affleck as a forensic accountant with a prodigious gift for maths.
I had become such a nuisance over this issue I think they identified me with the character and felt we deserved each other!”
Nevertheless, the judge said the claimant had never consented to his picture being used in the film.
He said he had been alerted to his inadvertent appearance in the film by his son.
