German carnival revellers take swipes at Putin, Trump, Epstein

Düsseldorf (Germany) (AFP) – From Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin, no one is safe when Germans celebrate carnival with floats that satirise politicians. But the Russian president is not laughing.

Sculptor Jacques Tilly, head float designer for Duesseldorf's parade, is on trial in absentia in Moscow, accused of spreading false information about the Russian military.

"Humour can hurt and definitely affect those targeted," he told AFP in December, promising that the political floats for Monday's parade would be as "foolish and satirical" as ever.

Tilly, who was informed of the proceedings via Russian pro-democracy activists based in western Germany, said it was the first time he had been charged by a court of law for his floats.

Tilly's previous work for carnival includes floats depicting Putin taking a bath in blood, as well as the Russian leader behind bars.
